Using Angular CLI to create a project gives errors

Question

I am getting the following error when trying to use Angular CLI on Mac OS Sierra:

$ ng new my-app Error: Path "/app/app.module.ts" does not exist. Path "/app/app.module.ts" does not exist.

I have tried the following approaches:

Deleting NodeJS completely using the following commands: (as stated on this stackoverflow post)

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/{npm*,node*,man1/node*}

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npm /usr/local/share/man/man1/node* /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d ~/.npm ~/.node-gyp

sudo rm -rf /opt/local/bin/node /opt/local/include/node /opt/local/lib/node_modules

Then re-install Angular CLI

npm install -g @angular/cli

I have checked folder permissions and the information states that I have read/write access to the folder.

What else could be the problem here?

I now have the following versions:

Hope someone can help.

As well as doing all of the above. I noticed that a folder...

/Users/my-user-name/node_modules

... still existed. I did the following:

Hopefully that helps anybody else who had similar issues.
