Angular 6 Installation And Setup


Prerequisite to install and setup Angular 6 on Windows systems.
  • Nodejs
  • Npm
  • Angular CLI
  • IDE for writing your code
It’s required for Angular 6 that Nodejs should have version greater than 8.11 and npm has to be greater than 5.6.

Nodejs

Identify the nodejs is installed on your system with typing command node -v in the cmd prompt. This will help you see the version of nodejs currently installed on your system.

















If it does not print anything, install nodejs on your system. To install nodejs, go the homepage https://nodejs.org/en/download/ of nodejs and install the package based on your OS.

Official site’s homepage of nodejs will look like the following –






To install  node on Windows 10, I downloaded node-v10.15.3-x64.msi from nodejs.org site. Run this msi file and follow the required step to install.














Once nodejs is installed, npm will also get installed along with it. To check if npm is installed or not, type npm -v in the terminal. It should display the version of the npm.




Once node and npm is installed then run below command on same window to install the CLI using the npm package manager.
npm install -g @angular/cli




After successfully installation of CLI you can create angular app in your system with the help of below command. Also to open and work on angular app code, download Visual Studio Code from https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/?dv=win64user

Create a new Project in Angular
To create a new project in angular use below command. After running this command required module will be added to this app and you can start basic work on the same application.



Ng new AngularTest
Once you run above command in Nodejs window then few option will be displayed in same window regarding routing and CSS frameworks etc. Please select Y for routing and select CSS/SAAS as per your requirement.



Once new project is created then below cmd screen will be displayed. This project includes relevant modules including htmls, css, type scripts etc.



After this please check the physical location of your project. There you find source code including required module as below.








Now open this project in Visual Studio Code. Here you find complete structure of your project in explorer view.




















Sharing few basic command to compile, build, run the project from Visual Studio code terminal or Nodejs command prompt.
ng build : this command build the project


ng serve :  run command ng serve to see the page in web browser.
