I have installed Angular/cli and then try to run command ng serve then below error is throwing. I have tried lot of thing like uninstall angular/cli, npm cache clean, etc
I came across this issue when I was installing npm dependencies on Jenkins. I had @angular/compiler-cli in devDependencies and typescript in dependencies and NODE_ENV=production
in the environment.
I tried NODE_ENV=development npm install
and it worked for me.
