Adding @angular/fire to angular 12

Question

I am trying to add @angular/fire to my Angular 12 project so I can deploy it on Firebase. I used the cli to add @angular/fire I run:

ng add @angular/fire

Here is the output I get:

ℹ Using package manager: npm
✔ Found compatible package version: @angular/[email protected].
✔ Package information loaded.
 
The package @angular/[email protected] will be installed and executed.
Would you like to proceed? Yes
✔ Package successfully installed.
The package that you are trying to add does not support schematics. You can try using a different version of the package or contact the package author to add ng-add support.

I tried using npm to install the dependency:

npm i @angular/fire

Heres is the Output:

How do I get it installed. I notice that @angular/fire is at version 0.0.0. The folder .node_modules/@angular/fire is empty. I'll appreciate any help.

For Angular 12 below dependencies with such version resoloved my issues.

Install firebase version 7.0 || 8.0 and @angular/fire version 6.1.5.

package.json folder dependencies should look like:

"dependencies": {
...
"@angular/fire": "^6.1.5",
"firebase": "^7.0 || ^8.0"
}

app.module.ts

import { AngularFireModule } from '@angular/fire';
import { AngularFirestoreModule } from '@angular/fire/firestore';

  imports: [
    ...
    AngularFireModule.initializeApp(firebaseConfig),
    AngularFirestoreModule
  ],
