ng serve build error after npm install

Question

I'm getting the following error in my angular2 app with cmd ng serve after deleting the node_modules directory and building it new with npm install.

Error: Cannot find module 'common-tags'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:337:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:287:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:366:17)
    at require (module.js:385:17)

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:311:12)
    at Module.require (module.js:366:17)

also npm install common-tags to add it manually does not work

Looks like you should update your angular-cli and clean the cache

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean --force 
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
npm install
