I've just created a new React app using Create React App. When I went to install Matrial UI, I received the following error message:

Link to image of console

Other packages are able to be installed just fine. Is this an issue with React 17? Should I rollback to an earier version? I use React and Material UI daily at work, but this was on an app created back in June.

EDIT: I've attempted to delete the node modules folder and re-install, but no luck.

I think you just misspelled the command to install the package. You put: npm i npm install @material-ui/core You should insert: npm i @material-ui/core or npm install @material-ui/core

That was actually an additional typo from having tried half a dozen different soltuons. I've added a new image without the typo, and you can see the issue persists.
@BenJones I tried here and this command works fine. I think your nodejs is outdated. Try to update your nodejs and npm
I'm running v15.0.1, which is the latest version. Based on the error, and the fact that I can still install other packages into the project, I feel like this is something to do with Material UI and React not getting along.

So it turns out the issue was caused by the fact that I was using the 'latest' version of Node, that being 15.0.1. I installed the LTS version, currently 12.19.0, and Material UI now installs and works correctly.

I got the same problem when I install it with NPM. I solved this issues with yarn instead of npm.
