Question

I am getting the below mentioned error when I execute ng s --open command:

Cannot find module '@angular/compiler-cli' Error: Cannot find module '@angular/compiler-cli' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:655:15) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:580:25) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:711:19) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:14:16) at Object.

Can some one guide me as to what the issue is to get the error? I am working on the windows platform. I uninstalled the previous node version and installed the new version. Still it's giving the same error.

Answer 1

By executing the npm i @angular/compiler-cli everything is again working perfectly.
