Courses Plus Student 4,987 PointsIn my experience with Angular 2 (couldn't tell from your question if you're using 1.x or 2.x) and the Angular 2 CLI the command is either: ng serve or npm start
There should be a file called package.json in your root folder. Open the file and look under "scripts" for the commands included. In all my non-Angular experience with npm you would issue the command as you've been doing, npm run <command>. But I've noticed in Angular (and never bothered to look into why) you don't use run, just npm <command>
I hope this is helpful.
