Common issues & solutions

1. Creation of a new project takes forever (longer than 3 minutes)

   • That happens on Windows from time to time => Try running the command line as administrator

2. You get an EADDR error (Address already in use)

   • You might already have another ng serve process running - make sure to quit that or use ng serve --port ANOTHERPORT to serve your project on a new port

3. My changes are not reflected in the browser (App is not compiling)

   • Check if the window running ng serve displays an error. If that's not the case, make sure you're using the latest CLI version and try restarting your CLI

4. npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v9.1.0

   • It turns out that the current installed npm is not compatible with the new node and has a hard time updating. The solution is to uninstall npm: npm uninstall -g npm
