Remove the angularfire2 line, and the firebase line, and try again. You should be installing AF 5, not AF 4. Are you updating from an old version of your project? You might need to clear the cache also. ---

Your bleeding edge NPM package is bleeding 😉 I’m currently working on a Ionic&AngularFire project that was generated in late February’18 and my Angular dependencies are `5.0.3` my firebase is `4.10.1` and my angularfire2 is `^5.0.0-rc.6` so my rough guess is that your very old version of angularfire2 cannot talk to your advanced firebase. ---
