Question

I'm trying to run the below command to install ngx-bootstrap to my project

ng add ngx-bootstrap

I end up with this error message. See full CLI output below:

i had similar problem on angular-cli version 11.0.2 when run this command

ng add @nguniversal/express-engine

i update @schematics/angular version is 11.0.1

npm install @schematics/angular@11.0.1

I had the same issue, I found the answer that worked for me here: Cannot find module '@schematics/angular/utility/project'

npm uninstall @schematics/angular
npm install @schematics/angular@9.1.0

Answer 3

Because ngx-bootstrap require angular schematics module, for that, you need to install angular @schematics

you can install using

npm i @schematics/angular
