Cannot install ngx-graph with Angular 13.3-CodePudding

I have an Angular v13.3 project in which I'm trying to install the v8.0.0 of ngx-graph. When I run the command

npm install @swimlane/ngx-graph --save

I get the following output.

I haven't used npm for a long time, so I'm not really sure what this means. It appears that the versions of rxjs that Angular and ngx-graph require are in conflict.

CodePudding user response：

npm install @swimlane/ngx-graph --save --legacy-peer-deps

a couple of versions ago, npm started automatically for peer deps. Use the above command to workaround that.
