Install package from npm with Angular 17.2

[xwanner]

Starting from a fresh new project with node 20.9 and angular 17.2, I cannot install geonetwork-ui from npm.

The command : npm install --save geonetwork-ui

Returns :

Hi, thanks for your interest in the project!

It looks like not specifying an option when doing npm i geonetwork-ui will try to pull the version tagged latest (see https://www.npmjs.com/package/geonetwork-ui?activeTab=versions). This version hasn't been updated in a few months and to have anything working you would need to do npm i geonetwork-ui@dev.

Please keep in mind that the dev version is updated on every commit in the main branch of the project, so things might change quickly and without notice. Also, we would be very interested in hearing from your experience while using the NPM package, thanks!!

Thank you for your help,

Indeed with the @dev flag it did the trick.

I will try to work with this npm version and I will keep you informed if anything go wrong.
