I'd installed not globally by error before and if I write npm view angular-cli version I see 1.0.0-beta.14 but I can't use the commands like ng new...

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

Try to clean cache npm cache clean, uninstall angular-cli npm uninstall -g angular-cli & install again npm install -g angular-cli

[CanKer]

Sorry @neilhem that doesn't work. :(

+1. This doesn't work for me in Ubuntu 14.04 as well. Somehow ng serve still serves with old version (by checking the webpack its running).
To get my app working temporarily, I do.

• Clean uninstall of angular-cli, like sudo npm uninstall -g angular-cli
• Clone this angular-cli repo,
• Go to the angular-cli repo folder, and run npm link,
• Go to my project folder
• Run npm link angular-cli
• Now to run ng command, I use ./node_modules/angular-cli/bin/ng from my project folder

Hello I just installed with -f or --force flag and it worked.
I should close this and thank you all for your time. :)

[karthikkavin]

@CanKer Hello How where to use -force flag?

[CanKer]

npm install -g -f angular-cli @karthikkavin

[karthikkavin]

Thanks @CanKer

For me npm install -g -f angular-cli gives below error message
could you please suggest fix for this.

npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.

Find the location of nodejs via where is nodejs then do,

ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs ~/bin/node (yes, no sudo there);
replace /usr/bin/nodejs with the path your nodejs is at.
