Trying to install Angular 2 Material from npm - unrecognized token in source text

Question

I try the following command from PowerShell (as Administrator)

npm install @angular2-material

and get the error:

Unrecognized t         


        

Answer 1

The @ is making PowerShell treat @angular2-material as a variable.

• You could use cmd.exe (command shell) instead of PowerShell

or

• You could surround the package in quotes: e.g., "@angular2-material"
