Cannot destructure property `bold` of 'undefined' or 'null'

[bbhattaraisumit88]

When using any angular cli commands it shows the below error:

D:\Core2\Angular5Core21\Angular5Core21>ng -v
D:\Core2\Angular5Core21\Angular5Core21\node_modules@angular\cli\upgrade\version.js:12
const { bold, red, yellow } = chalk_1.default;
^

I have this same problem when running the following command:
ng --version

I just setup a new .NET Core Angular project, updated npm to the latest (5.6.0) and then installed '@angular/cli' using the following command:
npm install -g @angular/cli

When the above installation had errors, I ran the following commands:

1. npm install -g --save-dev @angular/cli@latest
2. npm install -g --save-dev @angular/cli@1.6.2
3. npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@1.6.2

Still receiving the error.

I resolved this issue by installing the 'chalk' dependency and 'angular-devkit/core' globally.

1. npm -g install chalk
2. npm -g install @angular-devkit/core

That resolved the issue for me.

Also had to:
npm install @angular-devkit/core

The presented solution (adding the two packets with -g) does not help me the least :-/

With only latest version numbers in package.json I (still) get

> ng -v
C:\<MYPATH>\npm\node_modules\@angular\cli\upgrade\version.js:12
const { bold, red, yellow } = chalk_1.default;
        ^

I am using lerna, and have hoisted most everything. That causes ng build to fail with an arcane error message about not being able to deconstruct something. The solution was to omit @angular-devkit/* from hoisting (using lerna's nohoist option). Now why would that be necessary? Why would it matter if @angular-devkit/build-angular were a couple of levels higher in the node hierarchy?
