Can't install latest angular cli on ubuntu

Question

I'm trying to install angular via ubuntu.

When I type the version commande node -v

I get v12.14.1

Then I try to install npm package sudo npm install -g @angular/cli I get a warning

npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v10.15.2

ng version

I get angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.28.3

The npm version is 6.13.4

Answer 1

The issue here seems to be that sudo node -v gives 10.15.2 where as node -v gives 12.14.1.

This means that there are 2 different node versions installed.

You can get around this by using sudo -E node -v or by deleting the link to the other node.js install by doing: rm /usr/local/bin/node .
