Angular error creating an angular app

Question

Whenever I try to create an angular project using ng new my-app-name, it shows the following error!

C:\Users\HP>ng new my-app-name

I get the following error in red marker!

Error: Path "/app/app.module.ts" does not exist. Path "/app/app.module.ts" does not exist.

I am using Angular CLI: 1.5.5 Node: 8.9.1 Windows: win32 x64

I can't post the image since i am new to stackoverflow and have not reached the required reputation to post the picture!

Thank You!

You get this error where? When doing what? We can't see your screen. — JB Nizet

@JBNizet after I enter the command to create a new angular app inside my directory C:\Users\HP> The error is stated above as I mentioned. Error: Path "/app/app.module.ts" does not exist. Path "/app/app.module.ts" does not exist. It was on the command prompt — Saigal Amatya

First of all, you should create a folder called Angular_Projects or something to the effect and create your projects inside of that dir. Also, try starting Command Prompt as Administrator. You may not have "write" access to the folder you're trying to write to. — Brandon Miller

@BrandonMiller I created a folder to create my projects inside of that folder but still i am facing the same problem. However, if i run cmd as admin i can create it. Is there any way i can create the app in the folder i just created because i just want my system32 folder to be untouched! And yes i do have a write permission as well. — Saigal Amatya

But you can (and should) post text. And what you get in your console window is text. Just use copy/paste. — JB Nizet

In my case the problem was folder permission. I tried in a folder with full permission and worked.

If you are using windows just uncheck Readonly

If you are using OS base on Linux Kernel just:

sudo chmod 644 -R foldername
