Angular 2 Components

Installing angular-cli

We will use npm to install angular-cli on our workstation. To do so, follow these simple steps:

1. Launch the Terminal (or command line in Windows).
2. Type: npm install -g angular-cli@latest and press Enter (in Windows, you might need to run this command as an administrator).

That's it! The angular-cli is now installed on your machine, and, because we used the flag -g with our npm install command, angular-cli exposed an ng alias that is available from anywhere. (-g stands for global, which means the module was installed on a system-level directory).
