Why ng new app installed older version than 12 (that is now the latest)-CodePudding

Trying to create an angular application, I dont understand how is possible with version 12 instead of version 8. Yes, ... because ng new app is actually creating applications in version 8.

ng version

This is the output of ng version. Current angular version is Angular: 8.2.14 but I would create an application with version 12.*

How to create angular12 application?

CodePudding user response：

Instead of ng new <my-project> you can use

npx @angular/cli@12 new <my-project>

This will create @angular/cli app with 12.x.x version.

Other options:

npx @angular/cli new <my-project> - latest version

npx @angular/[email protected] new <my-project> - 12.2.2 version

CodePudding user response：

Remove globally your old cli

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli

Clear the cache

npm cache clean --force

Install the latest version of angular cli by using the following command.

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
