Angular-cli: How to install the latest angular-cli?

[zh-wowtv]

I found the latest version in github is 1.0.0-beta.30. But it always show my version is 1.0.0-beta.28.3 when I try:

sudo npm i -g angular-cli

What could be wrong? Thanks

[diicar]

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

[bogacg]

Docs need to be updated

[paumayr]

There is a pull request open for the docs: #4349

You can run these two snippets to upgrade from angular-cli to the new package @angular/cli.

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

rm -rf node_modules dist
npm uninstall --save-dev angular-cli
npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest
npm install
ng update

@grizzm0 Are you not a fan of ng init? 😛

[grizzm0]

@RicardoVaranda The README says ng update nowdays. ;) Pretty sure it used to say ng init tho.

[zh-wowtv]

Thanks. Previously I run: npm i -g angular-cli. I think this is the reason.

[RicardoVaranda]

I'll have to check it out properly, I like the way init makes the second part of your previous post much easier in my opinion I guess it's all a matter of preference :)

@RicardoVaranda you still need to install the new version of the global cli via the npm commands.

[RicardoVaranda]

Of course, if you read my last comment I simply stated it makes the second part easier, the first part is essential regardless of your choice on upgrade.

After installing latest version I still have a angular-cli folder with two folders inside

• ast-tools
• base-href-webpack

is this as defined?

[filipesilva]

Closing as answered.

[thavaselvama]

First You uninstall the old version of the CLI globally, cleared cache, and then installed the new version CLI globally, following these instructions:

npm uninstall -g angular-cli @angular/cli

npm cache clean

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

[Mitali-Mahanta]

Can anybody help me.I am unable to install CLI.

[RicardoVaranda]

What problem are you facing @Mitali-Mahanta

[Mitali-Mahanta]

Now @angular/cli is working,i reinstall the nodejs latest version(v6.11.1).

This can help you to update the package versions of package.json to the last version
