I've found myself in an almost endless cycle of errors when trying to update my Angular CLI and NPM. Every time I update, I am met with WARN messages telling me to install peer dependencies (see below), but each time I install a dependency, I am met with more WARN messages. Is there a better way of handling this situation or does it seriously take hours?

I know I must be doing something wrong, but I'm new to Angular.
Peer dependency warnings, more often than not, can be ignored. The only time you will want to take action is if the peer dependency is missing entirely, or if the version of a peer dependency is higher than the version you have installed.
Let's take this warning as an example:
npm WARN @angular/animations@5.2.1 requires a peer of @angular/core@5.2.1 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
With Angular, you would like the versions you are using to be consistent across all packages. If there are any incompatible versions, change the versions in your package.json, and run npm install so they are all synced up. I tend to keep my versions for Angular at the latest version, but you will need to make sure your versions are consistent for whatever version of Angular you require (which may not be the most recent).
In a situation like this:
npm WARN ngx-carousel@1.3.5 requires a peer of @angular/core@^2.4.0 || ^4.0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
If you are working with a version of Angular that is higher than 4.0.0, then you will likely have no issues. Nothing to do about this one then. If you are using an Angular version under 2.4.0, then you need to bring your version up. Update the package.json, and run npm install, or run npm install for the specific version you need. Like this:
npm install @angular/core@5.2.3 --save
You can leave out the --save if you are running npm 5.0.0 or higher, that version saves the package in the dependencies section of the package.json automatically.
In this situation:
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.1.3 (node_modules\fsevents): npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.1.3: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})
You are running Windows, and fsevent requires OSX. This warning can be ignored.
Hope this helps, and have fun learning Angular!
You can ignore the peer dependency warnings by using the --force flag with Angular cli when updating dependencies.
ng update @angular/cli @angular/core --force
For a full list of options, check the docs: https://angular.io/cli/update
Update your angular (globaly):
ng update @angular/cli @angular/core
npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm install -g @angular/cli
After, if you want to use your old angular project (localy):
npm list if some dependencies have changed and get this error:npm ERR! peer dep missing: mydependencie, required by somecomponent
it's mean you have to update your project:
npm list:
npm install mydependencie
