I want to downgrade Angular CLI globally as my project is using older version of it

Question

I have upgraded my Angular CLI globally but my project is using an older version of angular CLI, so I want to downgrade my Angular CLI globally.

Answer 1

You can downgrade your global angular-cli installation to eg. 1.0.0-beta.14 by issuing:

npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g angular-cli@1.0.0-beta.14

The complete upgrade/downgrade guide is on GitHub README.

Answer 2

Just for folks seeing this in the future, nowadays angular cli is named @angular/cli on npm, so the new commands to downgrade are these:

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm install -g @angular/cli@1.6.8 // or whatever version you need

Answer 3

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g @angular/cli@1.0.0-beta.14
