I’m new to Angular and am trying to setup my dev environment. My Win10 machine has NodeJS v16.2 installed. I’m also using VSCode.

I cloned an existing Angular web project that uses Angular Core 14.0.0 from a git repo. Using the NodeJS command prompt, I navigated into the Angular project folder and tried the command npm install. I got the error below and I think its saying I already have Angular 14.3.0 installed. I however uninstalled it, so I’m not sure what the issue is.

Fix the upstream dependency conflict, or retry this command with –force, or –legacy-peer-deps to accept an incorrect (and potentially broken) dependency resolution.

I tried uninstalling Angular/CLI using npm uninstall -g @angular/cli

I also tried a npm cache clean –force and npm cache verify.

I checked my windows appdata folder and deleted any Angular folders.

I’ve tried installing Angular 14.0.0 to match the project, but I still get the same error.

If I create a brand new project everything works fine.
