“ ng new my-app”错误

Question

I am trying to generate a new project and skeleton application using the latest version of Angular. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Angular CLI using:

C:\>npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

C:\>ng --version

@angular/cli: 1.4.5
node: 8.8.1
os: win32 x64

This error occurs when trying to run 'ng new my-app' in command prompt:

'Error: The command "new" has an option without the required type and name field'

Any help to resolve this issue is appreciated.
