With Angular 5, you can use angular material 5. Execute the following commands to install ver 5.2.5 of @angular/material and @angular/cdk:

npm install --save @angular/material@5.2.5 
npm install --save @angular/cdk@5.2.5

The Angular CDK gives developers solid, well-tested tools to add common interaction patterns with minimal effort. Read more about it here: https://blog.angular.io/a-component-dev-kit-for-angular-9f06e3b4b3b4 – FAISAL May 30 '18 at 08:50
@Faisal I am currently on angular version 6.1.10 and I recently downloaded the latest version of /material and /cdk. My question is, will version 8.0.0 of /material be compatible with version 6.1.10 of Angular?? – javan.rajpopat Jun 05 '19 at 12:57
@javan.rajpopat It's not compatible. – kravisingh Jun 05 '19 at 13:04

For the newer version of angular v.6.0 you can use :

npm install --save @angular/material@6.2.1
npm install --save @angular/cdk@6.0.0

One new command is added in the latest CLI ver. (you need to update to the latest ver of CLI)

ng add @angular/material

this will automatically add the compatible ver in the package.json file.

Apart from material and cdk, you might also need to install @angular/animations. – Sachin Parashar Sep 05 '19 at 11:36
