I already have npm and git installed on my Ubuntu machine.
I followed the instructions below when installing Yeoman and the generator-angular.
Kickstart Your AngularJS Development with Yeoman, Grunt and Bower (step by step tutorial)
http://www.sitepoint.com/kickstart-your-angularjs-development-with-yeoman-grunt-and-bower/
My ultimate goal is to lauch a simple app using twitter bootstrap, so I can take advantage of their pretty UI. :D
However, when I get to the portion to run grunt server (recently replaced by grunt serve), I get a rediculous number of errors:
I was previously suffering from the issue described below:
Cannot install yeoman because 'generator-karma does not satisfy its siblings peerDependencies
https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman/issues/1065
Luckily I was able to work around it by running npm uninstall -g generator-karma && npm install -g generator-angular and then sudo npm install -g yo grunt-cli bower.
However, now I've hit a wall with grunt appearing as if it's not installed at all.
Does anyone know if there is a specific location where grunt should be installed?
Should I install it globally (using -g)?
Should I not install it globally (using -g)?
I don't understand what I'm doing incorrectly, but it must be something fundamental because the process is intended to be automated and simple.
Any ideas?
This looks like something npm install would fix. Looks like some of your dependencies didn't install.
Try it first without -g.
The problem definitely has something to do with compass and ruby. I was able to quickly build an angular app using yeoman when I opted not to install compass/sass for the app when prompted after typing yo angular at the terminal. After following the suggestions in this post, the last error I got was the following error:
Warning: /home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/rubie-2.1.1/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in 'require': cannot load such file -- compass (LoadError) from /home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/rubie-2.1.1/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in 'require' from /usr/bin/compass:20:in 'block in ' from /usr/bin/compass:8:in 'fallback_load_path' from /usr/bin/compass:19:in '' Use --force to continue Although, --force doesn't help.
but fixed it by simply following these instructions.

**what is the difference between setting up react-native- cli with npm install -g react-native-cli and init versus using npx react-native init ?
I recently got a lot of eneont errors while developing react-native app. firstly i setup my system with npm install -g react-native and was working fine but later while installing dependencies they got eneont errors like could not find fsevent, nanoid, hammerjs etc.
And the official documentation includes setup to use npx. I really got confused with this sort of approach.
could you please light some knowledge on npm vs npx and installing with '-g' argument?
npx is a npm package runner (x probably stands for eXecute). The typical use is to download and run a package temporarily or for trials.
With npm you install the package on your machine. And global makes it available to all your projects not only the one where you currently work in.
As yesIamFaded pointed out, the npx command does indeed download the package for each time you run the code and from a networking standpoint it might beneficial. However, as per React-Native documentation (which you can find here) the cli has been deprecated and it may cause issues. To quote the doc:
If you previously installed a global react-native-cli package, please remove it as it may cause unexpected issues.
So personally i would not go near it.
I want to install Angular version 4.* on my windows 7.
I am currently using Angular version 1.6.*
I tried following command
npm install #angular/{common,compiler,compiler-cli,core,forms,http,platform-browser,platform-browser-dynamic,platform-server,router,animations}#next --save
But its not working
Can any one please guide me to install and to create angular 4 project..
Make sure you have node version above 6.9 and npm above 3
Check the version by using node --version and npm --version
Install angular cli using npm install -g #angular/cli
-g installs the angular globally on your system and you just have to run this command only once
Create the angular project using ‘ng new angularprojectname’
Go to that project folder and check the angular version by ‘ng -v’
Upgrade this version to angular 4 by running this command-
For Windows-
npm install #angular/common#next #angular/compiler#next #angular/compiler-cli#next #angular/core#next #angular/forms#next #angular/http#next #angular/platform-browser#next #angular/platform-browser-dynamic#next #angular/platform-server#next #angular/router#next #angular/animations#next --save
For Linux/Mac-
npm install #angular/{common,compiler,compiler-cli,core,forms,http,platform-browser,platform-browser-dynamic,platform-server,router,animations}#next --save
Make sure to upgrade the typescript version by running command-
npm install typescript#2.2.1 --save
Ignore whatever warning it shows up and now check the angular version by ‘ng -v’
The version has changed from 2.2.4 to 4.1.0
You can also check all the info about your angular cli in package.json file.
You just need to install npm -g install angular-cli
And write sudo if you are using mac or ubantu
Then go to directory where you want project and then ng new PROJECTNAME
It will create project
Hope it helps you
I am adding this to update the answer.
If you want to install the latest angular version others answers are for you.
If you want to install a specific version of angular (Get your version number here)
You should use the below command.
npm install -g #angular/cli#VERSION_NUMBER
for example, if you want to install angular 1.4.9 command should be like below
npm install -g #angular/cli#1.4.9
I have also found the same issue while installing.
Please Do check npm and nodejs version and upgrade them.
I'd like to recommend node v6.x.x and npm 4.x.x or higher
There are many ways to structure AngularJS applications. When you begin to upgrade these applications to Angular, some will turn out to be much more easy to work with than others. There are a few key techniques and patterns that you can apply to future proof apps even before you begin the migration.
Follow the AngularJS Style Guide
Using a Module Loader
Migrating to TypeScript
Using Component Directives
Upgrade with ngUpgrade
Or up can follow the official document of Angular
For installing Angular 4 follow below simple steps:
Install node.js and npm(they are required dependencies. npm is automatically installed on installing node.js). You can install it
from here
With the help of npm install angular CLI. Type the following command in your command prompt: npm install -g #angular/cli
If you are still facing some problems you have to install git. You can install it from here
Now to create an angular 4 project using Angular CLI type the following command:
ng new [Project_Name]
This will create an Angualr 4 project.
5.To start the server and get your project up and running type following in command line:
ng serve
Remember you should be inside the project folder before starting the server. Hope this helps.
You have some libraries, Like
angular-material, angular-cdk`
etc...
Add all those and Try.
It will work for sure.
And you will be able to run the project
Install angular cli globally.
npm install -g #angular/cli
Get git pull from repository:-
[https://github.com/blazehub/ng-cli-starter.git]
to get ready made production ready project structure.
If you are looking for latest angular version use this command to install
npm -g install #angular/cli
I am starting out angular app with angular-fullstack in my Windows 7 box. I installed bunch of npm packages with -g options, including grunt-bower-install. I created the application first by running
yo angular-fullstack appname
There were no exception during the application creation. After application was created successfully I tried to run the app using
grunt serve
expecting the server to run. But the 'grunt serve' failed with
Running "bower-install:app" (bower-install) task
Cannot find where you keep your Bower packages.
We tried looking for a .bowerrc file, but couldn't find a custom
directory property defined. We then tried bower_components, but
it looks like that doesn't exist either. As a last resort, we tried
the pre-1.0 components directory, but that also couldn't be found.
Unfortunately, we can't proceed without knowing where the Bower
packages you have installed are.
Fatal error: No Bower components found.
I did find .bowerrc file and it was pointing to app/bower_components. Unfortunately, bower_components file was no where to be found. I am not sure what should be the content of the file to create it myself. Is it the missing file causing this problem or is there a npm package, I did not install correctly?
I installed bower using npm as well *
Thanks
Confusingly, the grunt-bower-install task that comes with angular-fullstack doesn't install bower components. It doesn't install anything. This error is trying to let you know that it can't find the bower_components directly, so it can't do its thing.
To fix the issue, run bower install.
If you don't have Bower installed, run npm install -g bower first.
I had the same issue, here's what worked in my case:
installed ruby and compass (yeoman needs these)
verified that path to Ruby bin folder is added to %PATH%
installed Git
restarted cmd window and ran "bower install" in the app folder
After that, grunt serve command worked perfectly.
Note: maybe installing Git and running bower install would suffice in your case.
I faced the same problem but only did npm install -g bower and then bower install and got grunt serve working.
I did not need to do any of the things mentioned by Olga.
Hope this helps.
npm install -g bower doesn't install bower components, you should run as well bower install to have all bower's components installed and then run grunt serve. It should work fine
Try to do bower install. If its failing saying not able to connect to git then you can change repo pointing location by simply running below command
$ git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com/
This will ensure that you will be downloaded over https instead of git if its causing orginasation firewall to block it.
In my case, I added sudo for it to work. So, I ran sudo npm install -g bowerand then bower install. grunt serve then worked when I ran it.
The Bower installation requires the packages to be brought from the Git repository, so first you need to install the Git application in your system. You can download it from this link :https://git-scm.com/downloads . Now after your have downloaded it , there may be a chance that the PATH may not be set up, so go to ControlPanel -> System and Security -> System -> Advance System Settings (on the left-hand side), click it, then goto Environment Variables -> System Variables -> PATH , click edit , and write down the following paths :
;C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin;
C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\cmd ....Well the above path is where Git was installed in my system, you can crawl to the place in your system where Git was installed and select the paths from the "bin" and "cmd" folder and paste it on the PATH variable.
Now, after the GIT path is setup, you can now type in the command " $ bower install " , this will install all of your bower packages.
npm install -g bower
bower install
grunt serve
worked for me ...
npm install -g bower
bower install
grunt serve
It's worked too
I have installed AngularJS using bower, by calling:
$ bower install angular-latest
Now I wonder how to integrate AngularJS into my html file. Apparently, there is neither an angular[.min].js file nor an index.js file as suggested by the bower documentation.
I can't imagine that I am the first person on earth to discover this problem, but unfortunately I did not find any clues on this on Google (but perhaps I only used the wrong terms for searching).
Any idea of how to include AngularJS?
Okay, I found the solution:
$ bower install angular
And everything is fine ...
What you installed with
$ bower install angular-latest
was only the latest source code. You need to actually build AngularJS.
First, you need to install all of the following dependencies if you haven't already:
Git
Node.js
Java
Grunt
Bower
Second, change into the angular.js directory.
Then, install node.js dependencies and bower components:
$ npm install
$ bower install
Finally, you're ready to build your package:
$ grunt package
In the resulting build directory, you'll find
angular.js — The non-minified angular script
angular.min.js — The minified angular script
When I run yeoman install handlebars I get the following output:
Running "bower:install:handlebars" (bower) task
bower cloning git://github.com/components/handlebars.js
bower cached git://github.com/components/handlebars.js
bower fetching handlebars
It doesn't copy handlebars to the current project's plugins or vendors directory. It exits without an error message. Is this the right behaviour?
To me it seemed like a bug so I've created an issue on yeoman's github page. But I'm not sure.
To resolve this issue here's what I did. I realized yeoman did not install bower for me and it depends on bower for installing libraries. So, to resolve this issue - install bower manually like this: npm install bower -g
