How to force npm install on my Apps builds react app

Posted on April 2, 2021

We are a startup building fast for an MVP launch. I having trouble building the front-end react app component in Digitalocean Apps. This is a packages dependencies issue, yet I’m am able to npm install locally on my linux laptop.

Is there a way to ignore and/or force an incompatible module and install and build anyway?
