Error installing Angular using npm due to require-from-string

Question

How to resolve this error as I am not able to install Angular.

Please see the below exception:

C:\\Users\\absin\\node>npm install -g @angular/cli
         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue. So when I used yarn it worked well and not having any problem to create new projects also.

yarn global add @angular/cli

again, when you create new app ng new newapp it will fail because at this moment npm is not able to find a package called require-from-string. But the you can run yarn to install all the packages. Yarn will ask which version of the require-from-string is needed. you can choose it.
