Installation problem - invalid packages names

[Olgagr]

1. Mac OSX El Capitan
2. Node 5.2.0, 6.0.0., 6.6.0
3. I'm trying to install the latest version of angular-cli:

npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g angular-cli@latest

1. For node 5.2.0 (npm version 3.3.12) I get errors:

What is the result of running npm info @angular/core dist-tags?

I get the following error when I run sudo npm install -g @angular-cli@latest

Following is the result after running

npm info @angular/core dist-tags

{ latest: '2.0.2', next: '2.1.0-rc.0' }

@filipesilva In my case:

$ npm info @angular/core dist-tags
{ latest: '2.0.2', next: '2.1.0-rc.0' }

Turns out, an update to npm fixed this issue on Mac OS X (El Capitan).

Here's how I resolved this issue:

  sudo npm update npm -g
  npm --v
  node -v
  sudo npm uninstall -g angular-cli
  sudo npm cache clean
  sudo npm install -g angular-cli@latest

After running the following commands, following were the versions of npm and node:

npm: 3.10.9
node: v6.6.0

@Olgagr you seem to have some npm problem. npm info shows the package exists, but npm install says the package name is invalid. @apatil88 seems to have fixed it by updating npm, so perhaps that works.

Either way there isn't anything we can do on the CLI itself, we have those dependencies and cannot do without them.
