Angular 4 - Please include either "BrowserAnimationsModule" or "NoopAnimationsModule" in your application

I'm having a problem when I launch my Angular app on my browser. Everything works code speaking but I'm still getting this error:

Found the synthetic property @routerAnimations. Please include either BrowserAnimationsModule or NoopAnimationsModule in your application.

I already checked the posts on this subject and there's quite a lot but all of them answered the same:

import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

and include it in the app module's imports.

imports: [
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    ... 
]

That's what I did but still got the same error. I've been looking for hours for this solution. Anyone knows what could fix it ? Thanks

Here's my package.json:

<div [@routerAnimations]="myOutlet.state">
    <router-outlet #myOutlet></router-outlet>
</div>

Answer

Adding the lines

import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

and

imports: [
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    ... 
]

to app.module.ts actually solves it
