Angular CLI - Environment Setup

Prepare Node.js, npm, Angular CLI, and a compatible project workspace.

How it works

Install a Node.js version compatible with the Angular version in the project, then use the package manager and lockfile selected by that workspace. A global CLI can create projects, while npm scripts or a local CLI version improve reproducibility. Check official compatibility tables before upgrading.

Good practice

• Check the local Angular CLI version and run commands from the intended workspace.
• Review angular.json targets and builders before assuming optional commands are configured.
• Use the package manager and lockfile selected by the project.
• Review generated files, configuration changes, and build output before committing or deploying.
