but i get this result:

npm WARN @angular/[email protected] requires a peer of @angular/[email protected] but none was installed. npm WARN @angular/[email protected] requires a peer of @angular/[email protected] but none was installed.

npm ERR! Cannot read property '0' of undefined

someone know why?

Answer 1

npm 5.3.0 is broken (on windows 10) for me too after upgrading to nodeJS v8.2.0. Same symptoms/logs as described above. npm install -g [email protected] temporarily fixes the problem.
