Question

I am trying to install @angular/material module but I keep getting this error whenever I run :

$ npm install --save @angular/material
npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! While resolving: [email protected]

npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Fix the upstream dependency conflict, or retry
npm ERR! this command with --force, or --legacy-peer-deps

Any help will be more than appreciated.
