I have cloned an Angular 4 project from git.
When I go to the root folder of the project and executed ng serve.
I am getting following error:
node_modules appears empty, you may need to run `npm install`
How can I fix the above error?

This error happens when there are missing packages in your node_modules/ folder that prevents the development server from running. To solve this error, you need to make sure that you have the node_modules/ folder generated by the npm install command.
npm install does not create node_modules folder and not downloading any dependencies.
If your npm is broken: On Mac or Linux, reinstall npm. Windows: If you're on Windows and you have a broken installation, the easiest thing to do is to reinstall node from the official installer (see this note about installing the latest stable version).
Run npm update -g npm. Execute this command by running the command prompt as Administrator npm install -g windows-build-tools. Run npm install inside the project folder where the package. json file is located, if it doesn't work run: npm install --force.
Run npm install from the root of the project. If you're on a mac then you may want to run sudo npm install in case some if the package installations require elevated permissions. If it has submodules then leave a comment below and I'll update this answer to include how to deal with those. No use in confusing this answer with that unless you hit it.
