I had the same issue, the thing was I was not closely following along the tutorial I was watching and I tried using the same directory, I used cd .. to move up in the file structure and it worked like a charm, hope this helps!

Seems like i fixed my problem. I have no idea what happened but i noticed system32 was not in my PATH so i added that and uninstalled and reinstalled the angular-cli package. everything works like a charm now

Answer 4

I had this problem as well. Here is how I fixed it:

• Go to package.json
• Under "Dependencies", find "angular-cli": "^1.0.0-beta.18"
• Delete this line ("angular-cli": "^1.0.0-beta.18")
• Save file

Hope that helps!

Answer 5

Check in your username folder, if there is package.json and node_module exist. If they are there then delete them.

Notice: you may have created an angular project in your home/username directory. If you delete them it will work.

Answer 6

i had the same problem today, I started a fresh project and did

 npm install -save @angular/cli

and received the error. I just renamed the package.json to .json2 temporarily and it worked.
