Having difficulty upgrading from Ionic 5 to Ionic 6 (dependency issues)

Ionic Framework
1

When I try to update to Ionic 6 using the command:

npm install @ionic/angular@6

I get this:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! While resolving: Project@0.0.2
npm ERR! Found: @angular/core@8.1.3

Which means my angular core is out of date, so I try to update my angular core using this command:

npm i @angular/core@"~12.x.x"

I get

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! While resolving: Project@0.0.2

npm ERR! node_modules/@angular/core
npm ERR!   @angular/core@"~12.x.x" from the root project

What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to upgrade Angular dependencies first. Follow the Angular Update Guide, then update Ionic.
