If you still have problems and are using nvm make sure to set the nvm node environment   To select the latest version installed  To see versions use nvm list   nvm use node sudo npm remove -g  angular cli sudo npm install -g  angular cli   Or to install a specific version use   sudo npm install -g  angular cli 7 2   If you dir permission errors use   sudo npm install -g  angular cli 7 2 --unsafe-perm

I would suggest using NVM to keep different versions of node and npm and then install the compatible angular-cli

You can just have package json with specific version and do npm install and it will install that version  Also you dont need to depend on angular-cli to develop your project

To answer your question  let s assume that you are interested in a specific angular version and NOT in a specific angular-cli version  angular-cli is just a tool after all    A reasonnable move is to keep your angular-cli version alligned with your angular version  otherwise you risk to stumble into incompatibilities issues  So getting the correct angular-cli version will lead you to getting the desired angular version   From that assumption  your question is not about angular-cli  but about npm   Here is the way to go    STEP 0 - OPTIONAL  If you re not sure of the angular-cli version installed in your environment  uninstall it   npm uninstall -g  angular cli   Then  run  --force flag might be required   npm cache clean   or  if you re using npm   5    npm cache verify    STEP 1  Install an angular-cli specific version  npm install -g  angular cli wished version here    STEP 2  Create a project  ng new you-app-name   The resulting white app will be created in the desired angular version   NOTE  I have not found any page displaying the compatibility matrix of angular and angular-cli  So I guess the only way to know what angular-cli version should be installed is to try various versions  create a new project and checkout the package json to see which angular version is used   angular versions changelog Here is the changelog from github reposition  where you can check available versions and the differences   Hope it helps

Specify the version you want in the  dependencies  section of your package json  then from your root project folder in the console terminal run this   npm install   For example  the following will specifically install v4 3 4   dependencies           angular common    4 3 4         angular compiler    4 3 4         angular core    4 3 4         angular forms    4 3 4         angular http    4 3 4         angular platform-browser    4 3 4         angular platform-browser-dynamic    4 3 4         angular router    4 3 4         You can also add the following modifiers to the version number to vary how specific you need the version to be   caret    Updates you to the most recent major version  as specified by the first number    4 3 0   will load the latest 4 x x release  but will not load 5 x x  tilde    Update you to the most recent minor version  as specified by the second number    4 3 0   will load the latest 4 3 x release  but will not load 4 4 x

Edit  2   7 2 2017    If you install the angular cli right now  you d probably have the new name of angular cli which is  angular cli  so you need to uninstall it using  npm uninstall -g  angular cli   and follow the code above  I m still getting upvotes for this so I updated my answer for those who want to use the older version for some reasons        Edit  1   If you really want to create a new project with previous version of Angular using the cli  try to downgrade the angular-cli before the final release   Something like   npm uninstall -g angular-cli npm cache clean npm install -g angular-cli 1 0 0-beta 32      Initial   You can change the version of the angular in the package json   I m guessing you want to use older version of angular but I suggest you use the latest version  Using   ng new app-name   will always use the latest version of angular

Yes  it s possible to install a specific version of Angular using npm   npm install -g  angular cli 8 3 19   Next  you need to use the ng new command to create an Angular project based on the specific version you used when installing the CLI   ng new your-project-name   This will generate a project based on Angular v8 3 19  the version which was specified when installing Angular CLI
