Errors when installing angular-cli

Question

I have latest version of node and npm:

> npm -v
3.10.8
> node -v
v4.6.1

Getting this when installing angular-cli

npm ERR! enoent and is related to npm not being able to find a file.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Uninstalling the package first solved the problem:

npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm install -g angular-cli

Answer 2

update your node then run the command prompt as administrator and try this:

npm install -g [email protected]

Answer 3

I have solved these error by just following these steps.

1. First and very most important step, Open command prompt in Administrator mode. Reason, why I am saying it's important, because sometimes reading and writing files in generally aborted due to files read write permission available in your system.

2. If you have already installed some of @angular/cli, then uninstall it by,

   npm uninstall -g angular-cli

3. clean the npm cache as

npm cache clean

4. Then try to install as

   npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
