Unable to execute the angular app with ng

Question

I'm newbie for working on angular. when I;m trying to execute the application from the terminal with the commmand "ng serve --open" I'm getting an error stating as like below :

"The serve command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found."

I had taken a search in google I found that my ng versions and node versions should be same. I had cheked the versions with "ng v" command the versions are as like below :

angular cli : 8.3.22 node : 12.14.1

I'm unable to resolve the issue.

you need to make sure you are in the project root (cd into it)) — Andrew Allen, Jan 15 '20 at 08:44
Also there's no relation between angular-cli and nodejs version. — Haidar Zeineddine, Jan 15 '20 at 08:51
point your command prompt to project folder and run **ng serve** — Akhil Naidu, Jan 15 '20 at 08:53
@AndrewAllen Its working with change of root directory. Thank you. — Srikanth Reddy, Jan 15 '20 at 13:00

"The serve command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found." -- this says you are running ng command outside of your project
