Angular-cli: Can't install angular-cli

[mkotsollaris]

This might sound very trivial, but I am hitting my head against the wall while I am trying (unsuccessfully) install angular-cli.

I am following the official angular-cli documentation here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular-cli/tutorial

mkotsollariss-MacBook-Pro:~ mkotsollaris$ npm -v
5.6.0
mkotsollariss-MacBook-Pro:~ mkotsollaris$ node -v
v8.9.4
mkotsollariss-MacBook-Pro:~ mkotsollaris$ 

Then I run npm install -g angular-cli which gives me:

mkotsollariss-MacBook-Pro:~ mkotsollaris$ npm install -g angular-cli

-bash: ng: command not found

I think I have tried almost everything on the web, and still can't make this to work.

My OS is MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2 .

Any idea what am I missing here?

Current installation instructions are here: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli
I think this is the command you're looking for...

npm install -g @angular/cli

[vkmi]

Are you sure about the @?
When installing with the @ prefix I get the following error.

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found: @angular/cli@latest

Windows, Npm 5.6, Node 8.9.4

Meanwhile just install -g angular/cli seems to work, at least until the step where I get a whole other error related to git and ssh-ing in the repository.

[mkotsollaris]

When I try install -g angular/cli on my Mac, I get the following:

[paisanousa]

The @ is correct. It designates a scoped package in npm. Scoping allows publishers to group packages in namespaces within npm. More info here: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/scoped-packages

It could be that you are behind a proxy server or provider that is not passing through the '@' and/or the '/'.

Try escaping both of these characters with a backslash like this:

npm install -g \@angular\/cli

If that fails, please again try the original command:
npm install -g @angular/cli
and copy to this issue stream the associated log file you find at:
C:\Users\vkmi\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\...

[Brocco]

This seems to be a support issue and not an actual issue with the CLI, so I am closing this issue.

That being said the correct package name is @angular/cli

[paisanousa]

@vkmi , regardless of whether this is a closed CLI issue, please let me know if you were able to get beyond the problem, or if I can be of further assistance.

[vkmi]

Thank you for your concern.
Sadly no amount of character escaping worked.

• Escaping the @ in powershell was interpreted as indicating a path
• Escaping the / searches for @angular**cli locally

Trying to bypass eventual proxy/provider problems by using my phone as an hotspot also gave no results.

I get
http fetch GET 404 https://registry.npmjs.org/@angular%2fcli
While navigating to the same link in a browser returns the correct json.
I don't know what part of my system is "broken".

In the end I set up a clean remote vm for this project, everything went right the first time and I called it a day.

[vkmi]

Finally fixed, almost by chance.
What fixed it was logging out of the npm account I was using. I'm not sure why, though.
Maybe it had something to do with some configurations left behind by Verdaccio even after I uninstalled it.

Posting in case it may eventually help anyone who is having my same issue and feeling as much as a moron as I felt those last few days.

[juanpicado]

hi @vkmi I'm curious about your verdaccio configuration. Scope packages are fully supported. btw I'm verdaccio maintainer.

[vkmi]

Hi @juanpicado, I'm sorry, since I already had uninstalled Verdaccio I also deleted the relative folder in my appdata folder, and I don't remember what my configuration was.
I had also tried Sinopia before Verdaccio, so it may have been caused by that instead.

[juanpicado]

@vkmi that might explain your issue, the last version [email protected] does not have support for scopes by default. If you have further questions about verdaccio feel free to ask in our forum.

Managed to install angular-cli through nvm:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash
export NVM_DIR="/Users/mkotsollaris/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
nvm --version
0.33.0
nvm install stable
nvm install node
npm install -g @angular/cli
ng new my-project
cd my-project
ng serve

See this SO post for more info.

Cheers!
