[ ] Support request => Please do not submit support request here, instead see https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#question
Current behavior
In following one of the tutorial workflows, the angular in memory web api dependency is missed. As a user, I followed this workflow:
- Visit https://angular.io/guide/quickstart
- Complete steps 1-4 (notice the package.json is missing "angular-in-memory-web-api" if entering into the tutorial workflow this way.
- Read "Next Step" at bottom of page "If you're new to Angular, continue with the tutorial. You can skip the "Setup" step since you're already using the Angular CLI setup."
- Skipped setup section of the tutorial (still missing in-memory-web-api dependency)
- Completed tutorial through HTTP: Simulate the web API
- Error: missing angular-in-memory-web-api
Expected behavior
In the tutorial https://angular.io/tutorial/toh-pt6#heroes-and-http, let users know to check for the npm dependency in their package.json if it is not there: npm install --save angular-in-memory-web-api dependency.
Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

Probably have similar problem in every sample app that uses the in-mem-web-api. Confirm.

I have the same problem. Is there any workaround until this is fixed?

Navigate to your project's folder from the terminal and install the missing dependency with npm:
npm install --save angular-in-memory-web-apijenniferfell commentedon Apr 25, 2018

The setup section of the tutorial does not add dependency to in-memory-web-api. instead, HTTP section of the tutorial has instructions to install in-memory-web api. So even if you miss setup instruction in the tutorial, you will still be directed to the step that installs in-memory-web-api.
