# Updating to Angular Version 9

This guide contains everything you need to know about updating to the next Angular version.

## Updating CLI Apps

If your application uses the CLI, you can update to version 9 automatically with the help of the `ng update` script:

```sh
ng update @angular/core@8 @angular/cli@8
git add .
git commit --all -m "build: update Angular packages to latest 8.x version"
ng update @angular/cli @angular/core --next
```

<div class="alert is-important">
In order to improve the updating experience, we strongly suggest that you update to the latest 8.x version of `@angular/core` and `@angular/cli`.

Additionally, during the RC period, the `--next` command line flag is required. This flag will no longer be necessary once version 9 final is released.
</div>

The script runs a series of small migrations that will transform the code of your application to be compatible with version 9.
If you're curious about the specific migrations being run, see the [automated migrations section](#migrations) for details on what code is changing and why.

## Changes and Deprecations in Version 9

{@a breaking-changes}
### New Breaking Changes

- Angular now compiles with Ivy by default. See [Ivy compatibility section](#ivy).

- CLI apps compile in [AOT mode](/guide/aot-compiler) by default (which includes template type-checking).
Users who only built with JIT before may see new type errors.
See our [template type-checking guide](guide/template-typecheck) for more information and debugging tips.

- Typescript 3.4 and 3.5 are no longer supported. Please update to Typescript 3.6.

- `tslib` is now listed as a peer dependency rather than a direct dependency. If you are not using the CLI, you must manually install `tslib`, using `yarn add tslib` or `npm install tslib --save`.

{@a ivy}

## Ivy features and compatibility

In Version 9, Angular Ivy is the default rendering engine. If you haven't heard of Ivy, you can read more about it in the [Angular Ivy guide](guide/ivy).

* Among other features, Ivy introduces more comprehensive type-checking within templates. For details, see [Template Type-checking](guide/template-typecheck).

* For general guidance on debugging and a list of minor changes associated with Ivy, see the [Ivy compatibility guide](guide/ivy-compatibility).

* For help with opting out of Ivy, see the instructions [here](guide/ivy#opting-out-of-angular-ivy).
