I am having the same problem. Ng serve will not start server after generating a new file using the cli. I am running the beta 31. Here is my error:

You have to be inside an angular-cli project in order to use the serve command.

I am starting the serve in the same directory I normally do.

[pandalowry]

its crashed if your use old nodejs version in OS.

If your OS ubuntu, use https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#deb

new angular/@cli requests nodejs ver. 6.9.x

I solve this problem use repo in link. Install to my ubuntu node 6.9 and all works fine!

Did the same in Mac and it is working now with node 6.

[awsaunier]

Updating node Fixed it for me.

Thnx all :)
