Why is This error?

The error “Package ‘@angular/material’ is not a dependency” indicates that, while attempting to upgrade Angular Material, the specified package @angular/material is not recognized as a dependency in the current project.

Correct Upgrade Command: Ensure that the upgrade command is accurate. It should resemble:

ng update @angular/material

Update Angular CLI: Ensure that the Angular CLI is up-to-date by running:

ng update @angular/cli

Clear Package Cache: If the issue persists, clear the npm package cache by executing:

npm cache clean --force

Afterward, attempt the upgrade again.

By confirming package names, updating dependencies, and using the correct upgrade command, you can address the “Package ‘@angular/material’ is not a dependency” error.
