Versions

I'm trying to update angular 5 project to v6. I installed first angular-cli v6. Then I run the following command:

$ ng update @angular/cli
Your global Angular CLI version (6.0.8) is greater than your local
version (1.7.4). The local Angular CLI version is used.

To disable this warning use "ng config -g cli.warnings.versionMismatch false".
events.js:183
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Have you tried:

npm uninstall --save-dev @angular/cli
npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest

?

It was just an error from our Proxy. Im closing this issue.

[EssieShey]

ng update command ignore .npmrc configuration file. You need to manually set the proxy in your current session.
e.g.

set proxy=http://ip:port
set http_proxy=http://ip:port
set https_proxy=http://ip:port

Then:

npm uninstall --save-dev @angular/cli
npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest

OR
ng update @angular/cli
