Repro steps

• ng new e-commerce-with-tut-ng4
• cd e-commerce-with-tut-ng-4
• ng serve (to test if works)

Observed behavior

After that I've got this ->

C:\Users\TheTanadu\Desktop\codetemp\e-commerce-with-tut-ng4>ng serve
module.js:471
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '@angular-devkit/core'

    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3)

After all I came here but when I wanted to use ng --version in this path I've got same error like that what is up and I had to go cd .. and then use ng -v

Desired behavior

I wanted to see local server

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

I struggled with the same problem just a minute ago. My project was generated using the v 1.6.0 of angular-cli.

1. npm update -g @angular/cli
2. editing my package.json changing the line
   "@angular/cli": "1.6.0",
   to
   "@angular/cli": "^1.6.0",
3. npm update
   did the trick.

gosh thank you @LarsMengel :D That did it.

I have the same issue with version 1.6.4. @LarsMengle this works because latest patch version is used 1.6.5. My problem is that 1.6.5 increased the prod build from 9minutes to 30 minutes

Thanks @LarsMengel , I am struggling from last 2 days. Now the issue resolved!!

The same with my 1.5.2 version.

I just started learning Angular a few days ago and this came up for the first time just now. Thanks @LarsMengel !

Thank you @LarsMengel! Just ran into the same thing with 1.6.4. Solution worked like a charm.

I am using angular 1.6.5 for cli.
In the examples from angular documentation:
https://angular.io/tutorial/toh-pt6

In my package.json I change

original:

"@angular/cli": "1.5.0",

new:

"@angular/cli": "^1.5.0",

What does the "^" do exactly?

[jlam55555]

@jadeite100: Check out this link.

Excerpt:

So if you see ~1.0.2 it means to install version 1.0.2 or the latest patch version such as 1.0.4. If you see ^1.0.2 it means to install version 1.0.2 or the latest minor or patch version such as 1.1.0.
