How to update to 2.0.0-beta.4?

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I’ve found the instructions here: http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/resources/using-npm/

But it bombs out if I try to run it since dependencies aren’t fulfilled:

bash-3.2$ npm outdated

Any clues?

Hi there,

it’s very simple. The error message describes exactly which version of a package it is required to install newer version of Ionic:

npm ERR! peerinvalid The package angular2@2.0.0-beta.6 does not satisfy its siblings’ peerDependencies requirements!
npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer ionic-angular@2.0.0-beta.4 wants angular2@^2.0.0-beta.13

To fix this, you have to edit package.json file and change under dependencies from “angular2”: “2.0.0-beta.6” to “angular2”: “2.0.0-beta.13”. You will get another messages like this. But I think you got the idea and how to fix the problem.

I hope I could help.

Best

Also, don’t go by the output of “npm outdated”, as that is based upon what is already installed and not what you want to install. Just change the version numbers one at a time between running “npm install” until you no longer receive errors. Before starting, always backup your packages.json if you do not have it under version control.

If you’re using an older version of the framework there are actually a few additional steps aside from updating the npm packages (i.e. package.json file) - I wrote a short guide on how to upgrade your project to beta.4 (check out the linked post for detailed instructions):

Thanks guys!

What I ended up doing was using ionic-cli to create a new project and move my existing app folder to the new project, add plugins and platforms again.
