Angular installation

Question

I want to install Angular version 4.* on my windows 7.
I am currently using Angular version 1.6.*

I tried following command

npm install @angular/{common,compiler,compiler-cli,core,forms,http,platform-browser,platform-browser-dynamic,platform-server,router,animations}@next --save

But its not working

Can any one please guide me to install and to create angular 4 project..

Answer 1

1. Make sure you have node version above 6.9 and npm above 3
2. Check the version by using node --version and npm --version
3. Install angular cli using npm install -g @angular/cli
4. -g installs the angular globally on your system and you just have to run this command only once
5. Create the angular project using ‘ng new angularprojectname’
6. Go to that project folder and check the angular version by ‘ng -v’

7. Upgrade this version to angular 4 by running this command-

   For Windows- npm install @angular/common@next @angular/compiler@next @angular/compiler-cli@next @angular/core@next @angular/forms@next @angular/http@next @angular/platform-browser@next @angular/platform-browser-dynamic@next @angular/platform-server@next @angular/router@next @angular/animations@next --save

For Linux/Mac- npm install @angular/{common,compiler,compiler-cli,core,forms,http,platform-browser,platform-browser-dynamic,platform-server,router,animations}@next --save

Make sure to upgrade the typescript version by running command- npm install [email protected] --save

Ignore whatever warning it shows up and now check the angular version by ‘ng -v’ The version has changed from 2.2.4 to 4.1.0

You can also check all the info about your angular cli in package.json file.

Answer 2

You just need to install npm -g install angular-cli

And write sudo if you are using mac or ubantu

Then go to directory where you want project and then ng new PROJECTNAME

It will create project

Hope it helps you

I am adding this to update the answer.

If you want to install the latest angular version others answers are for you.

If you want to install a specific version of angular (Get your version number here) You should use the below command.

npm install -g @angular/cli@VERSION_NUMBER

for example, if you want to install angular 1.4.9 command should be like below

npm install -g @angular/[email protected]
