Desired functionality.

I followed the steps found here (https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/4548) but could not get the Angular CLI to install on my laptop.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

@nihy Can you try npm cache clean and then installing it make sure you don't have any old versions installed before installing latest version.

[nihy]

Hey @sumitarora, thanks for the help! I did the cache clean, then tried installing with sudo npm i -g @angular/cli and now "@ngtools/json-schema" appears to be the problem. I've attached the debug log here
Also, here's the full terminal readout to save you a click

I was having the same issue today on Windows. I even discovered that the problem was solved when I uninstalled 64-bit node and installed the 32-bit version. I was able to get the 64-bit version working this evening, however, by updating npm to the latest version. I'm not sure why the npm version (3.10.10) shipped with the LTS version of node (6.10.1) isn't working, but this update seemed to fix it for me.

npm install npm@latest -g

[keefmarshall]

Same issue on OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan with 6.10.1 LTS Node installed. Updating npm as described by @sdoyle0 above fixed it for me - I now have npm 4.4.4 installed.

[UKirsche]

Same issue here on with El Capitan. Glad i found this help! Should also be mentioned in angular documentation, quick-start guides etc.

[nihy]

Thanks everyone who helped! Updating to the latest version of npm solved the issue.

npm cache clean --force resolved my issue
