Answer 1

Downgrade the version of ng2-img-max to 2.1.0 because the developer updates dependencies in 2.1.4 for supporting angular 5.

For more information see the commits of 2.1.4: https://github.com/bergben/ng2-img-max/compare/2.1.4...master

You see that devDependencies of 2.1.4 require angular 5:

"devDependencies": {
-        "@angular/common": "2.4.8",
