How to install Angular with Typescript

Chris Mendez -

Here's how to install Angular using Node Package Manager.

Step 1 - Angular

Install the latest version of Angular.

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

Step 2 - Typescript Definitions

Install typescript definitions using @types. @types unifies the management of definitions and packages making for a cleaner install. Good bye typings.

npm install -g @types/npm

Step 3 - Typescript

Install the latest version of Typescript.

npm install -g typescript

Step 4 - Yarn

Install the latest version of Yarn. Yarn is a better package manager than npm. Yes, it's ironic that you use npm to install yarn but in the end, if you want to achieve something similar to Ruby on Rail's "freeze" or bundle package, yarn is your best bet.

npm install -g yarn

Step 5 - Use yarn instead of NPM

Moving forward, you should try using yarn instead of npm i . It will help you experience less dependency hell.

Step 6 - Create an app

Create a new app and change directory.

ng new myapp && cd myapp
