How do I fix peer dependency errors? - angularjs

I have an Angular project I began using a random starter project. Someone on our team attempted to clone the repo and when they did an npm install the application would not build and was giving the following errors:
npm WARN #angular/router#3.2.0 requires a peer of #angular/upgrade#2.2.0 but none was installed.
npm WARN codelyzer#1.0.0-beta.3 requires a peer of #angular/compiler#~2.1.1 but none was installed.
npm WARN codelyzer#1.0.0-beta.3 requires a peer of #angular/core#~2.1.1 but none was installed.
npm WARN app#0.0.0 No repository field.
It says angular router requires angular 2.2.0. So I manually install angular 2.2.0 and then I get the following error:
npm WARN codelyzer#1.0.0-beta.3 requires a peer of #angular/compiler#~2.1.1 but none was installed.
npm WARN codelyzer#1.0.0-beta.3 requires a peer of #angular/core#~2.1.1 but none was installed.
Now codelyzer reacquires the version of angular that I just upgrading from. I can easily go to the starter project and update my files but that is not going to help me to learn how to fix this issue.
How does one go about correcting what seems to be a circular dependency problem when you fix one issue only to cause another?

React Bootstrap application not running

I am trying to run my react bootstrap app with the command npm start, however this error appears
#babel/plugin-bugfix-v8-spread-parameters-in-optional-chaining#7.14.5 requires a peer of #babel/core#^7.13.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
npm WARN bootstrap#5.0.0-alpha1 requires a peer of popper.js#^1.16.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
This is my package.json: https://hastebin.com/saforuvocu.json

Node + React dependency issue, peerDependency?

I'm trying to use this code I found linked off an article online: https://github.com/kangzeroo/Kangzeroos-AWS-Cognito-Boilerplate
The package.json is here: https://github.com/kangzeroo/Kangzeroos-AWS-Cognito-Boilerplate/blob/master/Boilerplate_Frontend/App/package.json
After downloading and running: npm install, I get this warning:
$ npm install
...
npm WARN radium#0.18.4 requires a peer of react#^15.3.0 but none was installed.
npm WARN Kangzeroos-ES6-React-Redux-Boilerplate#1.0.0 No repository field.
I've been reading about peerDependencies, so I add this to the package.json
"peerDependencies": {
"react": "^15.3.0"
}
After I add that, now I get this:
$ npm install
...
npm WARN Kangzeroos-ES6-React-Redux-Boilerplate#1.0.0 requires a peer of react#^15.3.0 but none was installed.
npm WARN radium#0.18.4 requires a peer of react#^15.3.0 but none was installed.
npm WARN Kangzeroos-ES6-React-Redux-Boilerplate#1.0.0 No repository field.
I've tried updating the version of react in the main dependencies, and installing multiple versions in the main ones also. But really, what is the proper way to figure this out and get this to run? It seems all the version numbers are pinned pretty well.
I know this is a fairly common issue, but man it's super confusing. Any tips would help.
Thanks!
npm WARN radium#0.18.4 requires a peer of react#^15.3.0 but none was installed.
This means that radium#0.18.4 requires a peer dependency react#^15.3.0.
The one you have listen in your package json is "react": "^0.14.3", so that's why npm complains about that.
The solution would be to update the react version to at least 15.3.0 but probably you can get away without it (it's just a warning and the React API is not changing that much).
npm WARN Kangzeroos-ES6-React-Redux-Boilerplate#1.0.0 No repository field.
This is just because of this "repository": "",. You can safely ignore it.
I got it working. I went into the top level node_modules folder, then went into radium folder, then added "react": "^15.3.0" into that package.json as the last item in the "dependencies" section and did an npm install inside of App/node_modules/radium/ and now the app loads :+1:

npm install errors in jenkins job

I am trying to run npm install command and getting the below error; The same package.JSON works fine in local, but when I try to run the command through jenkins job getting the error.
npm WARN #angular/animations#4.1.2 requires a peer of
#angular/core#4.1.2 but none was installed. npm WARN

Please help me to fix this issue.
This error message says that you want to use #angular/animations#4.1.2 without #angular/core#4.1.2. This usually happens when you are missing or using different versions of modules.
Solution is, try to update your package.json dependencies and install missing once.

npm modules wont get installed

I was trying to install dependencies which resulted in this warning:
npm WARN angular2-in-memory-web-api#0.0.12 requires a peer of #angular/core#2.0.0-rc.2 but none was installed.
npm WARN angular2-in-memory-web-api#0.0.12 requires a peer of #angular/http#2.0.0-rc.2 but none was installed.
I then tried to manually install #angular/core#2.0.0-rc.2 so i used:
npm install -g #angular/core#2.0.0-rc.2
Which also resulted in
npm WARN #angular/core#2.0.0-rc.2 requires a peer of rxjs#5.0.0-beta.6 but none was installed.
npm WARN #angular/core#2.0.0-rc.2 requires a peer of zone.js#^0.6.6 but none was installed.
I then used
npm install -g rxjs#5.0.0-beta.6
npm install -g zone.js#^0.6.6
Which threw no warning. I then proceed to again install #angular/core#2.0.0-rc.2, but it threw same warning as before, like those two modules weren't installed at all. Has anyone met similliar problem?
What is causing this? I am trying to wrap my mind about it but can't find a solution, is there a way how to fix it?
Thanks for help.

How do I fix the npm UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY warning?

I'm on Windows 10, with Node 5.6.0 and npm 3.6.0. I'm trying to install angular-material and mdi into my working folder. npm install angular-material mdi errors with:
+-- angular#1.5.0
+-- UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY angular-animate#^1.5.0
+-- UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY angular-aria#^1.5.0
+-- angular-material#1.0.6
+-- UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY angular-messages#^1.5.0 `-- mdi#1.4.57
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open
'C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop\ngClassifieds\package.json'
npm WARN angular-material#1.0.6 requires a peer of
angular-animate#^1.5.0 but none was installed.
npm WARN angular-material#1.0.6 requires a peer of angular-aria#^1.5.0
but none was installed.
npm WARN angular-material#1.0.6 requires a peer of
angular-messages#^1.5.0 but none was installed.
How do I resolve this to get AngularJS Material and MDI installed?
npm no longer installs peer dependencies so you need to install them manually, just do an npm install on the needed deps, and then try to install the main one again.
Reply to comment:
it's right in that message, it says which deps you're missing
UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY angular-animate#^1.5.0 +--
UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY angular-aria#^1.5.0 +-- angular-material#1.0.6 +
UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY angular-messages#^1.5.0 `-- mdi#1.4.57`
So you need to npm install angular angular-animate angular-aria angular-material angular-messages mdi
UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY error is thrown when the dependencies of one or more modules specified in the package.json file is not met.
Check the warnings carefully and update the package.json file with correct versions of dependencies.
Then run
rm -rf node_modules/
npm cache clean
npm install
This will install all the required dependencies correctly.
In my case all the dependencies were already there. Please update NPM in that case as it might have been crashed. It solved my problem.
npm install -g npm
npm-install-peers worked for me.
npm install -g npm-install-peers
EDIT 2020
From npm v7.0.0, npm automatically installs peer dependencies. It is one of the reasons to upgrade to v7.
https://github.blog/2020-10-13-presenting-v7-0-0-of-the-npm-cli/
Also this page explains the rationale of peer dependencies very well.
https://github.com/npm/rfcs/blob/latest/implemented/0025-install-peer-deps.md
This answer doesn’t apply all cases, but if you can’t solve the error by simply typing npm install
, this steps might help.
Let`s say you got this error.
UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY packageA#4.2.0
npm WARN packageB#3.3.0 requires a peer of packageA#^3.1.0 but none was installed.
This means you installed version 4.2.0 of packageA, but packageB#3.3.0 needs version 3.x.x of pakageA. (explanation of ^)
So you can resolve this error by downgrading packageA to 3.x.x, but usually you don`t want to downgrade the package.
Good news is that in some cases, packageB is just not keeping up with packageA and maintainer of packageB is trying hard to raise the peer dependency of packageA to 4.x.x.
In that case, you can check if there is a higher version of packageB that requires version 4.2.0 of packageA in the npm or github.
For example, Go to release page
Oftentimes you can find breaking change about dependency like this.
packageB v4.0.0-beta.0
BREAKING CHANGE
package: requires packageA >= v4.0.0
If you don’t find anything on release page, go to issue page and search issue by keyword like peer. You may find useful information.
At this point, you have two options.
Upgrade to the version you want
Leave error for the time being, wait until stable version is released.
If you choose option1:
In many cases, the version does not have latest tag thus not stable. So you have to check what has changed in this update and make sure anything won`t break.
If you choose option2:
If upgrade of pakageA from version 3 to 4 is trivial, or if maintainer of pakageB didn’t test version 4 of pakageA yet but says it should be no problem, you may consider leaving the error.
In both case, it is best to thoroughly test if it does not break anything.
Lastly, if you wanna know why you have to manually do such a thing, this link explains well.
One of the most possible causes of this error could be that you have defined older version in your package.json. To solve this problem, change the versions in the package.json to match those npm is complaining about.
Once done, run npm install and voila!!.
The given answer wont always work. If it does not fix your issue. Make sure that you are also using the correct symbol in your package.json. This is very important to fix that headache. For example:
warning " > #angular/compiler-cli#5.2.7" has incorrect peer dependency "typescript#>=2.4.2 <2.7".
warning " > tsickle#0.25.6" has incorrect peer dependency "typescript#>=2.4.2 <2.6".
So my typescript needs to be between 2.4.2 and 2.6 right?
So I changed my typescript library from using "typescript": "^2.7" to using "typescript": "^2.5". Seems correct?
Wrong.
The ^ means that you are okay with npm using "typescript": "2.5" or "2.6" or "2.7" etc...
If you want to learn what the ^ and ~ it mean see: What's the difference between tilde(~) and caret(^) in package.json?
Also you have to make sure that the package exists. Maybe there is no "typescript": "2.5.9" look up the package numbers. To be really safe just remove the ~ or the ^ if you dont want to read what they mean.
Ok so i struggled for a long time trying to figure this out. Here is the nuclear option, for when you have exhausted all other ways..
Make a new folder on your pc.
Download a brand new installation of angular - I used this guide: https://coursetro.com/posts/code/55/How-to-Install-an-Angular-4-App
Run it, make sure it works
Then install your dependancies one by one from your package.json file
Run it after each one is installed
When you are done, and it still works, import your actual code into this new project. Fix any compile errors the newer version of angular causes.
Thats what did it for me.. 1 hour of rework vs 6 hours of trying to figure out wtf was wrong.. wish i did it this way to start..
Today available Angular 2 rc.7, and I had a similar problem with rxjs#5.0.0-beta.12 UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY.
If you, like me, simply replaced #angular/...rc.6 to #angular/...rc.7 - it's not enough. Because, for example, #angular/router has no rc.6 version.
In this case, better review package.json in Quick start
This issue can also occur when trying to fix a security vulnerability issue on a dependency.
Here is what I did:
Audited installed dependencies
npm audit
If there are fix available, running the following would fix the issue most of the time:
npm audit fix
Some issues would have SEMVER WARNING, following the link would give us hint on how to do a manual review and/or what to do next.
Doing a bit more research led me to discovering this command:
npm upgrade
Seems npm audit fix did not account on updating peer dependencies, and running npm upgrade would fixed unmet peer dependencies.
Now check if we resolved the issue by running:
npm list
This will give us all dependencies for our project and warn us of any unmet peer deps errors. Upgrading for the most part is actually better than staying on older version of the package you are using, if you are not having a security vulnerability issue npm install is also a viable option.
You will get this warning if you are using npm v6 or before. After npm v7.0, npm development team has stated that they will automatically install peer dependencies, all together. Therefore, now you don't want to install your peer dependencies manually.
You can install npm v7.0 using this command,
npm install -g npm#7
Learn more about npm v7.0 from this blog post, published by the Github Blog.
In case you wish to keep the current version of angular, you can visit this version compatibility checker to check which version of angular-material is best for your current angular version. You can also check peer dependencies of angular-material using angular-material compatibility.
I removed package-lock.json and node_module , switch over to YARN and this solved the issue
I was receiving the following error:
warning " > react-native#0.68.2" has unmet peer dependency "react#17.0.2".
It looks like the main reason was that that I had the "react-native" package installed aside from the "npx react-native" that comes with the node install.
Once I removed the 'react-native' package, I was able to successfully use "npx react-native init packagename" syntax.
You can check the react-native documentation regarding the above issue on the react native site:
https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup
you can resolve by installing the UNMET dependencies globally.
example : npm install -g #angular/common#4.4.6
install each one by one.
its worked for me.
