You can also use icons other than ionic icons:

For example:

```auto
<ion-icon src="../../assets/svg/your-icon-name.svg"></ion-icon>

```

if you are not on the latest ionic version 5 then i would suggest download the svg and use it as @erkinalan suggested

Wrong **package.json**. Two file under this. And then just check the “version” Tag.

Yeah that is the wrong Version. Ionic Icons changed from v4 to v5 a lot. Please conform you don’t have **ionicons** in your projects `package.json`

Hi @Simran3798,

there are two ways to update your [ionicicons](https://ionicons.com/) 🙂

1. `npm i ionicons`
2. put this script:

```auto
<script src="https://unpkg.com/ionicons@5.0.0/dist/ionicons.js"></script>

```

inside the index.html file.

Please don’t put the script Tag! After you update in your package.json, remove the node\_modules and the package-lock.json and run `npm install`. By the way you don’t need the reference in your package.json as it cones with the Ionic Package defaulty
