Angular 16.1 – 16.2 requirements
No longer supported: no fixes or security patches. Plan an upgrade.
| Needs | Supported range | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js | ^16.14.0 || ^18.10.0 | Node 18 LTS (18.10.0+) |
| TypeScript | >=4.9.3 <5.2.0 | TypeScript 5.1 |
| RxJS | ^6.5.3 || ^7.4.0 | RxJS ^7.4.0 |
Every Node.js line that Angular 16.1 – 16.2 supports has reached end of life (Node 18 ended 2025-04-30). Upgrading Angular is the only way back to a supported Node.js.
