Project Target Does Not Exist When I Run npm run dev:ssr

[Joe Nganga]

Hi Maciejtreder,

Hope you are well.

I'm new to Angular so kindly bear with me...

Here are my installed versions...

• Node Version: 18.12.1
• rpm 9.1.2
• Angular 15.0.1
• Angular CLI 15.0.1
• @nguniversal/express-engine@15.0.0

I'm trying to do angular SEO and render my apps on both dev:ssr and serve:ssr

But when I try to run "npm run dev:ssr" I get "Project Target Does Not Exist " error...

I also cannot install angular universal using the command "ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject divine-living " ... It installs but doesn't create the dependencies required

Find below my package.json file...
