# ng update: the setup

**[Tim Deschryver](https://daily.dev/sources/timdeschryver)** · [@timdeschryver](https://daily.dev/timdeschryver) · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A guide on configuring an Angular library to support the `ng update` command. The basic setup requires adding an `ng-update` entry to `package.json` and creating a `migrations.json` file. Optionally, automatic code migrations can be added using Angular schematics, allowing library maintainers to programmatically modify user code during upgrades. The post also covers how to test migrations using utilities from `angular-devkit/schematics/testing`, with a practical example of removing a deprecated `ngrx-store-freeze` dependency.
