I am trying to install node_modules for a project using npm install. But it's failing.

Error Log :

Logs suggest to use either npm install --force or npm install --legacy-peer-deps

I want to understand the basic difference between npm install --force and npm install --legacy-peer-deps.

Also, which one is more preferable to be used, just in case if performance of --force is better than --legacy-peer-deeps or vice-versa ?

Any suggestions/pointers are highly appreciable. Thanks!
