Angular 5 and NPM

Question

Is it possible to install Angular 5 dependencies(currently in RC stage) using npm?

This command shows no Angular 5 dependencies:

npm show @angular/core@* version

Or is it possible to download it from repository and install: https://github.com/angular/angular/

Thanks

you can specify the version in `package.json` and run `npm update` — Quentin Laillé, Sep 29 '17 at 10:19
Thank you, @QuentinLaillé . It worked. But why 5.x dependency was not shown in npm show command ? — Sergiy, Sep 29 '17 at 11:00
I have no answer for that unfortunately, I'd be glad to know if you can get an answer :) — Quentin Laillé, Sep 29 '17 at 11:17

Disclaimer: Angular 5 has been released (on Nov 1st 2017) and this is the npm command to upgrade to it (windows syntax):

npm install @angular/animations@'^5.0.0' @angular/common@'^5.0.0' @angular/compiler@'^5.0.0' @angular/compiler-cli@'^5.0.0' @angular/core@'^5.0.0' @angular/forms@'^5.0.0' @angular/http@'^5.0.0' @angular/platform-browser@'^5.0.0' @angular/platform-browser-dynamic@'^5.0.0' @angular/platform-server@'^5.0.0' @angular/router@'^5.0.0' typescript@2.4.2 rxjs@'^5.5.2'
npm install typescript@2.4.2 --save-exact

Follow the following instruction:

npm uninstall -g angular-cli

then

npm uninstall --save-dev angular-cli

and

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli

Clean up the cache

( npm cache clean -f ) or ( npm cache verify )

Install angular globally

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
local project setup if you have one
rm -rf node_modules

npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest

and finally,

npm install

Hope this helps!

(As of npm@5, `npm cache verify` or `npm cache clean -f` if you're sure) – Leo Dec 04 '17 at 17:32

Try to Run npm update command. This will automatically update all the required dependencies and files. After running the command you can check the version by running ng -version
