Error setting up new project with angular/cli

Question

I am new to npm and Angular 2, I am trying to setup a new Angular 2 project using angular/cli.

I am currently running:

Node v8.9.3 npm v5.6.0 Windows 10

First, I ran npm install -g @angular/cli which seemed to install just fine. Then I went to the folder where I wanted to start my project, ran ng new my-app but kept getting this error.

Answer 1

Try these steps:

1. npm cache clean --force
2. Open cmd and go to your current user cd C:\Users{your user name here}
3. npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
4. npm install -g npm@latest
5. npm install -g @angular/cli

Answer 2

From the command line run

ng -v

This should output 1.6.0. If it doesn't you have an older version of the CLI installed.

Run:

npm cache --force clean

And then:

npm install @angular/cli -g

If that doesnt work remove the folders in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming

Answer 3

Use these lines:

npm cache clean --force

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

Answer 4

After lots of research on this I came to a final solution, I tried lots of solutions but not worked for me. Try this it works for me, I'm using Ubuntu.

Uninstall angular cli.

Hit following command,

sudo npm uninstall -g angular-cli

check version if version still present, check path

which ng

It will give following output

/usr/bin/ng

Now delete this by using

sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/ng

then remove angular package

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules/@angular

Now your angular cli is completely removed from your machine.

Now check angulars latest stable version and install it.

if problem is still present than uninstall node and delete global node_modules folder.

sudo apt-get purge nodejs

sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules

And install node and angular again.

And try to create new project. Hope it will work for you. Thank You!
