Installing Latest Angular CLI

If you are a web developer, you might have heard of Angular, a popular JavaScript framework used to build complex web applications. Angular CLI (Command Line Interface) is a tool that helps to create, scaffold, and manage Angular projects. Here's how you can install the latest Angular CLI on your system in a few simple steps:

Step 1: Install Node.js and npm

In order to use Angular CLI, you need to have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your system. If you don't have them already, you can download the latest version from https://nodejs.org/en/ and follow the installation instructions.

Step 2: Install Angular CLI

Once you have Node.js and npm installed, open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command to install the Angular CLI:

npm install -g @angular/cli

This command will install the latest version of Angular CLI globally on your system. The -g flag indicates that it should be installed globally, so that it can be used in any directory.

Step 3: Verify Installation

After the installation is complete, run the following command to verify that the Angular CLI is installed properly:

ng version

This command will display the version of Angular CLI installed on your system, along with the versions of other dependencies. If it displays the version correctly, then congratulations! You have successfully installed the latest version of Angular CLI.

Alternative: Install Specific Version

If you want to install a specific version of Angular CLI, you can do so by modifying the above command to include the version number:

npm install -g @angular/cli@10.0.0

This command will install version 10.0.0 of Angular CLI. Replace 10.0.0 with the version number you want to install.

Alternative: Using Yarn

If you prefer to use Yarn instead of npm, you can install Angular CLI using the following command:

yarn global add @angular/cli

This command will install the latest version of Angular CLI globally using Yarn.
