How to Change (Upgrade or Downgrade) Angular version?


I have recently installed Angular 6 and would like to go back to using Angular 5.2 How can I change my Angular version from whatever version I have to whichever one I choose?


Solution

  • I will try to give a general answer for future similar issues.

    The version of angular used in a project is determined by the version of angular cli installed. Any specific version of angular cli can be installed with the following command:

    npm install --global @angular/[email protected].

    example:

    npm install --global @angular/[email protected]

    even if you have another version of angular cli (either newer or older) installed. That should not cause issues. However to be sure you can use:

    npm uninstall -g angular-cli

    npm cache clean

    npm install -g [email protected]
