cannot compile and find module angular/animations

Question

This is my Error message, anyone can help?

This likely means that the library (@angular/platform-browser/animations) which declares BrowserAnimationsModule has not been processed correctly by ngcc, or is not compatible with Angular Ivy. Check if a newer version of the library is available, and update if so. Also consider checking with the library's authors to see if the library is expected to be compatible with Ivy. 37 export declare class BrowserAnimationsModule

My app.module.ts :

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { BooksComponent } from './books/books.component';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    BooksComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

First use npm update and try to run the application again.

It will update all the dependencies and then install them. It will also install missing dependencies if there's some.
