Angular ng new returns package install failed error - compiler.umd.js missing

Question

I am trying to learn Angular and am following an online tutorial. However, I can\'t seem to get past creating a new project with ng new. I am running node v10.16.0 and npm 6.9.0

Answer 1

For some reasons when angular/cli (ng) run npm install by itself, it have problem with packages writing, so you can run

ng new yourProject --skipInstall=true

so angular/cli will not install any node packages and then run

npm install --force

to install it by yourself
