Question

No matter how many times i tried... i can't install Angular CLI on my computer...

I'm using:

npm install -g @angular/cli

And this is the console error log:

Any help?

• R. Richards: Have you tried running this command again as root/Administrator, like the error message says?
• sock rhombuses: Yes i did, at least five times
• joh04667: as in opening a command prompt as Administrator and trying the install from there? You can also try to nuke C:\\Users\\Félix Bejarano\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\@angular and then running again
• sock rhombuses: Nuke? What is that?
• Smokey Dawson: you could try adding sudo infront of the command or --forceat the end of the command so sudo npm install -g @angular/cli or npm install -g @angular/cli --force

Answer 1

Try this in a windows command line:

First create a directory called npm-global or something directly under C:\ with the same user OR create this under your user name. C:\users\myuserId. Side note:- the é character in your username C:\Users\Félix Bejarano could a problem - I don't know.

Run following command in a Command window - (for bash etc you adjust the paths)

npm config --global set prefix c:\npm-global\npm

then

npm config --global set cache C:\npm-global\npm-cache

This will get you a clean folder that you have access to.

• Sajadox: it worked after 3 years, thanks

If you have homebrew installed then you can use,

brew install angular-cli
