Question

I'm trying to install mqtt in Angular project using npm i ngx-mqtt but I got below error related to angular-devkit. I'm already using "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "^0.803.24" and it is installed and I'm using Angular 8.

[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '**PATH**\node_modules\@angular-devkit\build-angular\src\webpack\configs\browser.js'] {
  errno: -4058,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: 'PATH\\node_modules\\@angular-devkit\\build-angular\\src\\webpack\\configs\\browser.js'
}
**PATH**\node_modules\ngx-mqtt\postinstall.js:12
    throw err;
    ^
