You should execute npm cache clean instead of npm clear cache (see https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/cache).

Regarding npm WARN @angular/[email protected] requires a peer of rxjs@^5.0.1 but none was installed.: There is an open angular cli issue concerning rxjs. As a workaraound, you can execute npm install -g rxjs.

Additionally, the npm package name for angular cli changed from angular-cli to @angular-cli.

That is, the following might help: npm uninstall -g angular-cli npm cache clean npm install -g rxjs npm install -g @angular/cli
