How to Update Angular CLI to the Latest Version

To update Angular CLI to the latest version, uninstall the current version and install the latest version using these commands:

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

You can check your current version of Angular CLI using the following command.

ng --version

Right now, Angular CLI version 18 is the latest, so it will return output like this:

18.0.2

If you type the ng v command, you will see the complete versions of Angular and its supportive libraries like this:

ng v

Then we need to clear the cache using the following command.

npm cache verify # Use administrative rights if necessary

Then you need to hit the following command.

npm cache clean

Update Angular Packages

If you created an Angular project, go inside that folder and type the following command.

ng update @angular/core

Upgrading RxJS

You can update RxJS using the ng update command.

ng update rxjs

We are generating and serving an Angular project via a development server. Create and run a new project.

ng new angulardemo

cd angulardemo

ng serve

If you face any npm install: Unhandled rejection Error: EACCES: permission denied error, please try the following command.

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm 

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config

You can see the newly installed Angular project.

You can see the updated Angular CLI to version 13 by creating the new Angular project.

When creating a new project, we got the following options, which are unique in Angular 18.

We could not create the routing module when creating the Angular 18 project. Instead, see the following project structure. That is it!

Hi. It didn’t work for me. I had to resort to delete the global node_modules folder ($HOME/.node_modules) and install angular CLI from scratch.
