How to download angular from versions 1.8 to 5?

Question

i am trying to install angular5 so i can learn about how to scrape a specific website (see here Select tag wont update/populate if handled programatically )

however it doesnt seem to exist anymore. the available versions jump from 1.7 to 6.0 with everything inbetween is missing. below is a screenshot of my command line after the command >npm install -g @angular/cli@5

does angular5 exist anymore? why not? what happened to 1.8 to 5

Answer 1

If you take a look at the npmjs.com site, you can find a list of versions: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular/cli

It does not look like there are any Angular 5 versions there. Is there a specific reason why you need Angular 5 instead of a newer version? Angular 5 is 4-5 years old at this point, and I would recommend going with the latest.
