I just started freshly a new angular material project. And it fails with below errors

}

I have no idea how to resolve it?

the @angular/fire@"7.5.0" wants a angular version of 12-15 but you angular version is 16. but you can add it with --legacy-peer-deps.

Add this to your package.json:

"overrides": {
  "@angular/fire": {
    "@angular/common": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/core": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^16.0.0"
  }
}

Also it seems that this will be fixed with Angular Fire 7.6.0
