Angular conflicting versions of packages in your dependencies

 Hi Friends,

I wanted to share my recent experience with you all. A friend of mine had an issue in their Angular project where the data was not displaying correctly in a DataTable component. Upon receiving the Git link, I began by installing the required dependencies. However, I encountered some errors that I believe other developers may face while assisting junior programmers or friends who are new to programming.

Specifically, I received an npm ERR! code ERESOLVE error indicating conflicting versions of packages in the dependencies.
  • npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
  • npm ERR! ERESOLVE could not resolve
  • npm ERR!
  • npm ERR! While resolving: @angular/compiler-cli@15.2.7
  • npm ERR! Found: @angular/compiler@15.2.6
  • npm ERR! node_modules/@angular/compiler
  • npm ERR!   @angular/compiler@"^15.2.6" from the root project
To solve this issue, I took some steps that I would like to share with you all:
  • Delete the node_modules directory and package-lock.json file from your project directory.
  • Clear the npm cache using the command: npm cache clean --force
  • Use the --legacy-peer-deps flag to ignore peer dependency conflicts: npm install --legacy-peer-deps
  • If the above command does not work, use the --force flag to install the packages forcefully: npm install --force
  • After successful installation, run the ng serve command to start your project.
  • I would also like to mention that using the --force and --legacy-peer-deps flags can lead to broken dependencies or unexpected behavior in your project. Therefore, it is advisable to manually resolve the dependency conflicts by updating the conflicting packages to compatible versions.


Let's continue to support each other and enhance our programming skills together.
