Problem installing material package for Angular

Question

I am getting error while installing angular material package. I don't understand the error. Can someone help with this.

The output I am getting looks like this:

Answer 1

This error is due to conflicting peer dependencies. you could either try to run the npm install command with the --legacy-peer-deps or otherwise fix the versions you're installing.

In your case it seems that @angular/animations@15.0.3 requires @angular/core@15.0.3 to be installed but you're actually installing @angular/core@15.0.1 .

Answer 2

I fixed it by running command: npm install --save conflicting-peer @15.0.1. for every conflicting peer. Thanks for helping me.
