ng-serve is not working on ubuntu

Question

ng serve 
You seem to not be depending on "@angular/core". This is an error.

It gives that error.

ls
hello-world  node_modules  package.json  package-lock.json

ng -v

I want to install angularcli, angular version 1, but could not manage it.

Answer 1

I'm using agular cli to create and serve a project, after editing a file it does not auto update the server & I came across this kind of same issue so have use many command but finally this command works, i have to restart the ng serve again.

I tried ng serve and ng build --watch , both not working

re install npm install , also i checked the folder names but still not working

Or

Execute the following command in your project folder:

"npm install --save @1.2.4"

and npm start or ng serve .

For more details:- angular-cli issues

or

If you are using Ubuntu, You can use sudo ng serve or sudo ng serve --watch .

Hope this helps!
