How can I install @angular/cli on ubuntu 16.04 LTS?
Hi,
I try to install @angular/cli on ubuntu 16.04 but get following error:
You are running version v0.10.48 of Node.js, which is not supported by Angular CLI v6. The official Node.js version that is supported is 8.9 and greater.
I already installed a newer version of node.js:
nodejs -v
v8.11.3
and …
node -v
v0.10.48
@angular/cli
sudo npm install -g @angular/cli
/usr/local/bin/ng -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng

I agree with Woet. It looks like Angular CLI is picking up the older version of Node.js. I'd recommend uninstalling the v0.10.48 version with the following:
apt-get remove node
Or, if you installed with brew:
brew uninstall node
it's a ubuntu 16.04 image here on linode.
I tryed "apt-get remove node" and get…
Package 'node' is not installed, so not removed
I have to uninstall with nvm?
ok, nvm install v8.11.3 Then
ng -v
Angular CLI: 6.0.8
Node: 8.11.3
OS: linux x64
Angular:

hmmm but now I have two kind of node.js.
node -v
and
nodejs -v
I have to remove nodejs now? or that does not matter?
Use n module from npm in order to upgrade node
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
To upgrade to latest version (and not current stable) version, you can use:
sudo n latest
To undo:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nodejs-legacy # fix /usr/bin/node
sudo n rm 6.0.0 # replace number with version of Node that was installed
sudo npm uninstall -g n
