Angular-cli Error: Cannot find module '@ngtools/json-schema'

Question

I recently ran npm update in my project. After that completed, anytime i try to run ng serve I get a

Error: Cannot find module '@ngtools/json-schema'

However in my node_modules file there is very clearly a @ngtools file present. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling angular-cli but still receive this error.

package.json

Any help would be much appreciated.

I see one possible mistake:

• Make sure you run npm update --save or no changes will be saved

If you still get the errors, follow these steps:

• rm -rf node_modules
• Delete package-lock.json
• npm install
