Can't install FBT with npm

[DennisSkoko]

🐛 Bug Report

I'm trying to install fbt on a fresh project but I'm unable to since my guess is that fbt wants a dependency version for babel-plugin-fbt-runtime which doesn't exists.

To Reproduce

Run npm i fbt or npm i fbt --force. Have also tried npm i fbt babel-plugin-fbt babel-plugin-fbt-runtime --force

I have also tried

Expected behavior

Depencies being installed with no issues.

Actual behaviour

The actual error is that it can't find fb-babel-plugin-utils@^0.13.0 but I can't tell who wants it. The only fishy I could find it https://github.com/facebook/fbt/blob/fbt-v0.17.0/packages/fbt/package.json#L37. It wants babel-plugin-fbt-runtime@^0.10.x but there are only 0.10.0-rc{x}-beta versions at npm https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-plugin-fbt-runtime

Workaround

Installing the older version fbt@0.16.6.

Hi - thank you for reporting this!

The problem is that fbt@0.17.0(the latest public) requires babel-plugin-fbt@0.21.x through peer dependency, while @fbtjs/default-collection-transform requires babel-plugin-fbt@0.20.x.

To unblock yourself, you can install the previous public release of fbt which is fbt@0.16.6. It requires babel-plugin-fbt@0.20.x as a peer, so this should no longer be in conflict with @fbtjs/default-collection-transform

npm i fbt@0.16.6 babel-plugin-fbt babel-plugin-fbt-runtime

Note: We are going to publish a new release of @fbtjs/default-collection-transform which requires the latest babel-plugin-fbt, so hopefully you won't need this workaround soon.
