npm install not working

[hoall]

Hi,

I start to learn angular with your course on pluralsight. Unfortunately, the "Setting up the Angular application" steps do not work. npm install gives me the following error messages:

npm install
npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR!

I am on windows.

Would be great if you can fix this.

The steps work, it's just that npm is sometimes problematic. :-)

Things to try:

1. Try cleaning your npm cache:

• Run npm cache verify
• Delete your node_modules folder and package-lock.json file (if they exist in the project folder)
• Run npm install again.

2. If that doesn't work, double check your version of npm. Ensure you install the LTS version of node (with npm) and not the "current" version, which seems to have more issues. Then repeat npm install not working #1.

Let me know if either of these options worked for you.
All the best -

Thanks for this. #2 worked for me, I managed to set it up. I am starting this course today. Thank you!

Same issue for me. Maybe you could warn people in the video that Latest Current Version: 15.8.0 (includes npm 7.5.1) is dud and users should be sure to select Latest LTS Version: 14.15.5 (includes npm 6.14.11)? I've wasted hours on this both with your code and John Papa's and only happened on this closed issue by chance just as I was about to report the same issue!!
