Unable to install ‘File’ from ionic-native - dependencies related?

Issue

So I'm pretty fresh in Ionic2 so I'm getting some newbie troubles =/ I've searched pretty much everything and I can't find any examples for this.

What I want to do is to write a file to a certain directory of the device. I'm using Ionic2 and I've seen that there's a 'File API' that does what I need. But the problem is that I can't set it up.

Whenever I do $ npm install --save @ionic-native/file I get this output:

`project@0.0.1 D:\project\
+-- UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY @angular/core@2.2.1
+-- UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY @ionic-native/core@^3.1.0
+-- @ionic-native/file@3.2.1
-- UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY rxjs@5.0.0-beta.12`

`npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@^1.0.0 (node_modules\chokidar\node_modules\fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.1.1: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})
npm WARN @ionic-native/file@3.2.1 requires a peer of @ionic-native/core@^3.1.0 but none was installed.
npm WARN @ionic-native/file@3.2.1 requires a peer of @angular/core@2.4.8 but none was installed.
npm WARN @ionic-native/file@3.2.1 requires a peer of rxjs@5.0.1 but none was installed.`

But whenever I try to use npm install for these missing dependencies, it keeps giving me the same errors over and over again. I'm quite lost here. I've tried to delete node_modules, cache clean and install and I still can't get the File to work.

If you could assist me here that would be great. I can provide other info if needed. Cheers!

Solution

I've fixed this problem.

1: Remove node_modules, clean cache and install all dependencies again

rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean
npm install

2: In my problem, I needed ionic-native@core to be 3.1.0 or higher to be able to use ionic-native@file. So I run

npm install --save @ionic-native/core

And it got fixed.
