To leverage the power of the Angular CLI, begin by installing it using the npm package manager:
npm install -g @angular/cli
For information about changes between versions and updating from previous releases, refer to the Releases tab on GitHub.
Invoke the Angular CLI using the ng executable. For help on commands or options, use:
ng --help
ng new --help
To create, build, and serve a new Angular project, follow these commands:
ng new my-first-project
cd my-first-project
ng serve
Visit http://localhost:4200/ in your browser to view the new application. The ng serve command automatically rebuilds and reloads the page on source file changes.
Ensure you have sufficient rights in the current working directory or navigate to a different directory using cd <path-to-other-directory>.
The ng new command generates an Angular workspace folder containing a new application skeleton. A workspace can house multiple applications and libraries. Applications and libraries are organized within the projects/ subfolder.
Each application, found in the src folder, contains the source files for a root module, a root component, and templates. Use ng generate to add components, services, pipes, directives, etc., to your project.
A single workspace configuration file, angular.json, is created at the workspace's top level. Set per-project defaults and specify configurations for different targets using this file. Use the ng config command or directly edit angular.json for configuration.
Note: Configuration file option names use camelCase, while option names for commands must be in dash-case.
The general command syntax is:
ng [optional-arg] [options]
