Create Docker container for Angular CLI

Question

I am trying to create a Docker container for Angular CLI. My Dockerfile looks like this:

FROM node:8.1.4
RUN npm install -g @angular-cli

However, Docker does not like the @ character in the run command.

npm info using [email protected]
npm ERR! code EINVALIDTAGNAME
npm ERR! Invalid tag name "@angular-cli": Tags may not have any characters that encodeURIComponent encodes.

I also tried to escape the @, but same error.

FROM node:8.1.4
RUN npm install -g \@angular-cli

The Angular CLI docs say I need the @ character. How can I do this in a Docker RUN command?

You've got a typo in there. According to the documentation, Angular CLI should be installed as follows:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Notice how you have used - instead of /.

The error is from npm, not Docker, which is what tipped me off.
