General info:

  • OS: win 10 (both laptop and PC)
  • Both Laptop and PC has node and npm installed
  • Laptop and PC has Visual Studio Code

I installed Angular on my laptop without issues using "npm install -g @angular/cli" and using the command 'ng v' i was able to see the version of angular-cli, node, OS and Angular..

However doing the same on my other PC gives me this: Screen shot showing ng v being used

  • Angular CLI: 1.7.3
  • Node: 8.10.0
  • OS: win32 x64
  • Angular: ...

I did the same in visual studio code but all it told me when looking for version was

  • Angular: error

Not sure what to do to fix this, have been looking all over the interwebz but everyone talks about angular-cli.. not sure what the difference is yet since i just started working with it today

Installing the CLI doesn't install any given version of angular; you have to create a new project first (which IIRC will run npm install for you). Only once npm install is run in an actual Angular project will Angular itself be downloaded/installed.

poked my way into the directory of the project i had cloned from github (Laptop) and typed the 'npm install' command in there. it fixed the issue Thanks
@Lardman glad to help! Note that npm install is the standard way of taking a new clone of a project and downloading any npm-based dependencies. It also needs to be run if another team member updates package.json. You will likely get used to having to run it manually on occasion in the future
