Can't install angular-cli

Question

angular-cli just quits during installation:

(myapp)vagrant@myapp-local:/vagrant$ sudo npm install -g angular-cli
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: graceful-fs v3.0.0 and before will fail on node releases >= v7.0. Please update to graceful-fs@^4.0.0 as soon as possible. Use 'npm ls graceful-fs' to find it in the tree.
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: This package is discontinued. Use lodash@^4.0.0.
(myapp)vagrant@myapp-local:/vagrant$ l mapToRegistry uri https://registry.npmjs.org/serve-static
(myapp)vagrant@myapp-local:/vagrant$ ng
The program 'ng' is currently not installed. To run 'ng' please ask your administrator to install the package 'ng-common'

It seems I have latest versions of both node and npm:

(myapp)vagrant@myapp-local:/vagrant$ npm -v
3.10.9
(myapp)vagrant@myapp-local:/vagrant$ node -v
v6.9.1

• sawbeanraz: You have installed using sudo so try sudo ng
• Atta Ur Rehman: facing same issue: vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ sudo npm cache clean vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ sudo npm uninstall -g angular-cli vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ sudo npm install -g angular-cli ........ vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ : sill mapToRegistry uri registry.npmjs.org/selenium-webdriver

Answer 1

Resolved: So the issue was of memory of vagrant machine I increased it and it worked.

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
 vb.memory = "2048"
end

At last step I had to do:

sudo ln -s /home/vagrant/node-v6.9.1-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/angular-cli/bin/ng /usr/bin/ng

• Dmitrii Mikhailov: So it's not just me. Thanks. You probably should use it just as comment to my question, so that I could flag it as important because it's not an answer after all.

Answer 2

The problem is that NPM3 is needed. It's not currently mentioned on the readme check this link. Just execute npm install -g npm3 and then use npm3 in place of npm to install or just update npm to the latest version. hope this will work.

Updated

1. Try to clean cache - npm cache clean,
2. Uninstall angular-cli - npm uninstall -g angular-cli
3. Install again npm install -g angular-cli.
4. Worse case install angualr cli with a -force flag like this - npm install -g -f angular-cli

• Dmitrii Mikhailov: I think there's no difference between using npm3 command instead of npm if I already have npm=3.10.9 installed as shown in my question. Anyway, I tried to do what you advised and it didn't work.
• Keshan Nageswaran: @DmitryMikhaylov Try to clean cache npm cache clean, uninstall angular-cli npm uninstall -g angular-cli & install again npm install -g angular-cli. Worse case install angualr cli with a -force flag like this npm install -g -f angular-cli
• Dmitrii Mikhailov: Thanks, but result is the same after I cleaned cache, removed the angular-cli and reinstalled it with -f option
