What is your CLI version, is it outputting another error before that, have you submitted this issue to the github repository of the CLI, do you have any admin permissions going on, what is the command you type ... ? Give some context ! — , Apr 03 '19 at 09:23

Install @angular-devkit/build-angular as dev dependency.

npm install --save-dev @angular-devkit/build-angular

or,

yarn add @angular-devkit/build-angular --dev

I tried clearing npm cache but its getting stuck at the same place. – Rohit Sharma Apr 03 '19 at 09:41

almost i restarted it 2 times hoping it will work this time but no luck. – Rohit Sharma Apr 03 '19 at 09:46
Try to reinstall the angular cli .. last hope – Kishan Oza Apr 03 '19 at 09:48
