I've also hit a problem attempting to run the CLI commands.

$ npm -v
3.10.8

$ node -v
v4.6.0

$ ng -v
[Also crashed]

$ ng new my-app

I found the solution to my problem. I had an old version of node running. after I updated that, I was good to go.

@ahag You are passing in an option (--quiet) that is not valid. Use ng new --help to see the valid options. Or, go here: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/new

[Ajeey]

@ahag update your node to >= 6.9.0

It appears cnpm does not have a --quiet flag. As a workaround you can use the --skip-install option on ng new and run the package install manually afterwards with cnpm.

[alber70g]

I've figured that running ng new angular-project creates a new project in the home directory. In my case on MacOS in /Users/<username>/angular-project.

Moving it from there to the desired location will serve as a workaround.

It seems that the package manager "cnpm" added --quite to ng new, but actually ng new has no such option. So you have to set back to npm.

[filipesilva]

This is a bug, we should not pass --quiet when using cnpm.
