Angular / Install Angular
This page describes how to install the Angular CLI (Command Line Interface) that is used to develop Angular applications.
This documentation was written for Windows developers and command line tools are run in Windows Command Prompt shell. However, software programs can also be run in other shell environments.
Node.js
Angular requires Node.js and npm package manager to install the Angular CLI. Angular requires Node.js version 10.9.0 or later. See the Node.js download page. Node.js should install npm with it.
To check to see whether Node.js and npm have been installed, and which version is installed, run the following commands in a shell.
node --version
npm --version
Angular CLI
The Angular CLI is a command-line interface tool that you use to initialize, develop, scaffold, and maintain Angular applications. The CLI can be used in a command shell, or indirectly through an interactive user interface (UI) such as Angular Console.
To install Angular CLI using npm, run the following command in an open terminal/console window:
npm install -g @angular/cli
Next Steps
Once Angular CLI is installed, the following sections will demonstrate how to start and edit an Angular project.
