I have been trying to download a template to start customizing it. Upon downloading it, one is supposed to install all local dependencies using npm install or yarn install. I have done both of those and I have gotten the same error both times. Moreover I have tried using the same command with --force and --legacy-peer-deps, as advised in the error message. I found a GitHub issue discussing this precise problem and some other stack overflow threads. I have tried everything I have come across, and it is just not working. Moreover I have installed the recommended version of node, so that is not the problem either, as suggested in a different thread.

The error message can be seen below.
