Ng v still showing older version number after updating to latest angular cli version?

I have issued the following commands as shown in the picture. I have got a a success message saying that angular cli has been update to 10.0 version.

But when I run the ng v command I am getting the old version number.

So did it really update? What is the issue here? How to update to latest version globally so that when I generate a new angular project through cli I get the latest version of angular in that project?

Pls note- I have tried closing the cmd and opeing a new one to check ng v . Still the same. I did this entire process two times.

Not working even after npm cache clean force

c:\Users\ARPAN>

I opened cmd in admin mode, then updated the angular cli there, It got updated successfully, but then when I open cmd again in normal mode it shows the older version.

So I opened cmd in aadmin mode in my folder c:/users>ARPAN i updated the angular cli version there , but still it shows the same older version. Pls check the logs that i have attached

Solution

  • Finally! I am able to solve it. In admin mode and in root (C:\Users>) folder the angular cli version was the latest one i.e, 10.0.1

    But when I was navigating to C:\Users\ARPAN> the version of angular cli was still 8.3.3 .

    I was not able to figure out what was causing the issue. I tried everything available on the internet and stack overflow.I tried npm cache clean --force npm cache verify. Nothing worked.

    Then I did the following steps-

    Then I looked inside C:\Users\ARPAN> I found a package.json file there which had the version of angular cli as8.3.3 the older one.

    1. I deleted that. <<<<<< this is the crucial step.
    2. Then I navigated to C:\Users\ARPAN\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache deleted evrything inside the folder.
    3. Ran npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
    4. npm cache clean --force
    5. npm install -g @angular/cli

    It worked as a charm! Here is the log!
