Installing angular/cli crashes with error 404

Question

I have a little problem when installing angular/cli on my computer. I´ve installed latest stable version of Node.js (currently v. 10.16.0 with npm 6.9.0). Installation finished successfully without any problem.

After installation I've tried to install angular/cli in command prompt and I get this error.

npm ERR! code E400
npm ERR! 400 Bad Request - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@angular%2fcli

I've tried to reinstall node.js but it didn't help.

Answer 1

Try the Below :

Option 1

1. Open Command prompt as admin
2. npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
3. npm cache clean
4. npm config set strict-ssl false
5. npm install -g @angular/cli

OR :

Option 2

1. Open Command prompt as admin
2. npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
3. npm cache clean
4. npm config set proxy="http://proxy.example.com:8080"
5. npm config set https-proxy="http://proxy.example.com:8080"
6. npm config set strict-ssl false
7. npm install -g @angular/cli

If you get the error reason: write EPROTO try,

1. npm config set proxy="http://proxy.example.com:8080"
2. npm config set https-proxy="http://proxy.example.com:8080"

Follow Option 2

If all the above fails try to install the latest stable version of node & npm.
