Try this

Step 1: npm install -g @angular/cli@latest 
Step 2: ng new name-of-project (ignore if project already created) 
Step 3: cd name-of-project (ignore if project already created) 
Step 4: npm install @angular/cli --save-dev 
Step 5: npm install @angular/compiler-cli --save-dev 
Step 6: ng serve
