How to install a specific version of angular with angular-cli

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to install a specific version of angular (like 5, 6, 7, etc) using angular cli.

When we create a new angular project using angular cli, the version of the angular will depend on the angular-cli version, so first we need to update our angular cli to get the desired version of angular.

Installing a specific angular version

1. First, uninstall the angular-cli.

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli

If you are using mac then you need to add sudo before npm command.

2. Now, install the specific version of angular-cli.

npm install -g @angular/cli@7

Here 7 is the cli version number, which gives an angular 7 project.

3. Create a new project using ng new command.

ng new my-app

Note: If you want a different version, you can add it to the place of 7.
