1
00:00:00,130 --> 00:00:03,780
Before we can use the Angular CLI
to create a new project,

2
00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:06,080
we need to install it on our system.

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,850
Before we do that, we need to verify
that we have Node and NPM installed and

4
00:00:10,850 --> 00:00:12,880
what versions we're currently running.

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,080
The CLI and the Angular project that it
will generate will have dependencies that

6
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:24,430
require Node 6.9.0 or higher,
together with NPM 3 or higher.

7
00:00:24,430 --> 00:00:27,550
Luckily, doing this is easy to do.

8
00:00:27,550 --> 00:00:31,860
Let's open an instance of the terminal
by pressing Cmd + space bar

9
00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:35,020
to open Spotlight Search on Mac OS.

10
00:00:35,020 --> 00:00:39,943
Then we can type the first part of
the word terminal and press Enter.

11
00:00:41,494 --> 00:00:45,270
If you're on Windows,
you can press the Windows key or

12
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:50,543
click on the Start button and type
command to search for the command prompt.

13
00:00:50,543 --> 00:00:57,330
Then to verify that Node is installed,
type at the prompt, the command, node- v.

14
00:00:57,330 --> 00:01:01,029
If you have Node installed,
you'll see what version you're running.

15
00:01:01,029 --> 00:01:05,404
We can see here that I'm
running version 9.3.0.

16
00:01:05,404 --> 00:01:11,180
You can do the same for
NPM by typing the command, npm-v.

17
00:01:11,180 --> 00:01:14,053
If you don't have either Node or
NPM installed or

18
00:01:14,053 --> 00:01:18,961
you don't have current enough versions
installed, go ahead an pause the video and

19
00:01:18,961 --> 00:01:22,040
install or update your installations.

20
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,241
See the Teacher's Notes for links that
can help guide you through the process.

21
00:01:26,241 --> 00:01:31,971
Now let's install
the Angular CLI by running

22
00:01:31,971 --> 00:01:37,859
the command npm install -g @angular/cli.

23
00:01:37,859 --> 00:01:41,797
The -g option tells the NPM
package manager to install

24
00:01:41,797 --> 00:01:44,660
the Angular CLI globally.

25
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:50,048
That'll make the CLI commands available
from within any directory in our system.

26
00:01:50,048 --> 00:01:52,743
Go ahead and
press Enter to run the command.

27
00:01:58,341 --> 00:02:03,405
Now that we've installed the CLI, we'll
have the ng command available globally.

28
00:02:03,405 --> 00:02:07,125
To verify this, we can run the command ng

29
00:02:07,125 --> 00:02:10,683
which displays a list of
the available commands and options.

30
00:02:10,683 --> 00:02:15,225
I'll press Cmd +- a bit to
reduce the size of my font.

31
00:02:15,225 --> 00:02:18,280
That'll make it easier to
review the list of commands.

32
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,593
As you can see, there are a fair number
of commands and options available.

33
00:02:29,015 --> 00:02:33,905
To see information about a specific
command, we can run the command ng help,

34
00:02:33,905 --> 00:02:38,960
followed by the CLI command we want to
learn more about, say, the new command.

35
00:02:41,150 --> 00:02:44,520
Or we can type ng new,

36
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,940
followed by--help to do
exactly the same thing.

37
00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:52,000
Now that we have the CLI installed,

38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,970
we're ready to create our first
app which is what we'll do next.
