Angular CLI: 8.2.1

Answer 1

It sounds like you are running this command outside the Angular project folder where there is no package.json or angular.json

Answer 2

This is because as of Angular 7, the version of Angular core and Angular CLI need to be aligned, so their versions are likely to be the same. As your version is above 7, there is no explicit need to mention Angular Version seeing that Angular CLI version is already mentioned. Source: https://angular.io/guide/releases
