Can not install latest version of Angular CLI

Question

I start a new project with Angular, so decided to upgrade my global packages.

I run Windows10. Command ng -v returns me:

Angular CLI: 6.0.8
Node: 8.12.0
OS: win32 x64

At the moment of writing this, the latest stable version is 6.2.4, as npmjs.com says.

In order to upgrade to the latest version I run:

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache verify
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

All commands complete successfully, and now I checking ng -v but it is still 6.0.8. I would expect it to be 6.2.4.

What I'm doing wrong?

can you include your path var for better debugging? – hasanain Oct 09 '18 at 18:52 — hasanain, Oct 09 '18 at 18:52

Run npm upgrade -g @angular/cli should work properly.

Wow, it worked. Probably some caching issue occurred. What I was applying is an answer for this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43931986/how-to-upgrade-angular-cli-to-the-latest-version. It didn't work for me. Thanks @billyjov – Roma Kostelnyy Oct 09 '18 at 18:58

You might be running this command from a directory which might have a node_modules folder in it.

For example, if you inside of any angular project directory then ng is local not the global one.

Please try running this command from some directory.

I run it on the empty directory, so it's not the case – Roma Kostelnyy Oct 09 '18 at 18:54
can you try installing `npm install -g @angular/cli@6.2.4` – Vivek Kumar Oct 09 '18 at 18:57
If possible can you also post the npm installation log – Vivek Kumar Oct 09 '18 at 18:57
