Missing dependency: ionic-angular when trying to use ionic-stepper

I want to use ionic-stepper in my project.

I downloaded this package from https://www.npmjs.com/package/ionic-stepper. When I use it, I get the following error:

ERROR in The target entry-point "ionic-stepper" has missing dependencies:
[ng]  - ionic-angular

What does this mean, and how can I fix it?

Solution

  • The error message is pretty clear. You're missing ionic-angular:

    ERROR in The target entry-point "ionic-stepper" has missing dependencies:
[ng]  - ionic-angular

    ionic-angular is listed as a dependency, so you'll need to get a copy if you want to use ionic-stepper.

    Here is the cause of your problem:

    I downloaded this package...

    Manually downloading files isn't the recommended way to install libraries from NPM.

    Instead, use Yarn or the NPM CLI tool to install it. These tools will automatically identify and install dependent packages, like ionic-angular:

    yarn add ionic-stepper
