Npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY

Ionic Native
1

When I’m trying to install the ionic native plugin

npm install --save @ionic-native/linkedin

I’m getting some error messages in my command prompt as

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@^1.0.0 (node_modules\chokidar\node_modules\fsevents):

How can I resolve this?

It looks like you are attempting to bolt ionic onto a non-ionic project. The v4 beta just came out yesterday, you might want to look into using that, but I think it’s pretty hopeless to try this strategy with any earlier ionic versions.

I am having a similar problem:

npm WARN @ionic/ng-toolkit@1.0.0 requires a peer of @angular-devkit/architect@0.7.0-rc.1 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself. plus 5 further warnings.

All I did was to start a new Ionic project, generate a service and then run:
npm install pouchdb @types/pouchdb --save

Any ideas?

Edit: Further searching brought this up:

I didn’t really update any packages so in my case I am surprised to have any warnings at all.
