npm install -g angular-cli

npm install -g angular/cli

was trying to install angularcli using first command but it didn't get installed was getting error- AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\angular-cli\node_modules\node-sass npm ERR! command failed

but when I tried the second command angular cli got installed.

Is there any difference between two commands

You get an error when using the first command npm install -g angular-cli because no such package exists with that name in the npm repository.

@angular/cli is the official package for installing CLI tool in Angular.

I guess your're meaning npm install, not ng install ?

This difference is that the package name is @angular/cli. If you use another name, then you install another package (or nothing, if the name you provide is not taken).

Yes I meant , npm install
stackoverflow.com/questions/43344600/… here in the second answer it is mentioned to use these command npm uninstall -g angular-cli npm cache clean npm install -g [email protected]
npm install -g angular-cli why there was no error that package didn't exist . if we use command with invalid package name does it install all the packages mentioned in the package.json?
Yeah version 1. Angular is at version 17, which is 7 years later ... So just read the documentation next time.
