Install specific version of ng cli
npm install -g @angular/cli@{version-number}
This command would install the 1.0.0 version:
npm install -g @angular/[email protected]
You can see the available versions with the following command:
npm view @angular/cli
NB: You can also install the latest available version:
npm install @angular/cli@latest
In case anyone stumbles on this question while looking for a way to use angular-cli to build Angular 2 apps, @angular/[email protected] generated apps installs angular 4.0.0 instead of 2xx.
To avoid the round-trip of uninstalling the cli and looking for the most recent version that builds 2xx, use @angular/[email protected]
It builds Angular 2.4.1 ;)
