Can we upgrade the older version of Angular that we have installed on our system to the Angular 8 version? If yes, then how?

Yes. If you want to upgrade your Angular CLI or any older version of Angular to Angular version 8, you can easily do it. Follow the steps given below:

  • First, check the older version of Angular that you are using. Run the ng –version command on the Node.js command prompt.
  • Now, you have to uninstall the older version of Angular by using the following command.
    npm uninstall -g angular-cli // For Windows Open Powershell on Administrator Mode
    sudo npm uninstall -g angular-cli // For Mac
  • Now, verify and clear the cache by using the following commands.
    npm cache verify
    npm cache clean
  • Now, install the latest Angular CLI (Angular 8) by using the following command.
    npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
  • You can now verify that you are using the correct version by using the following command.
    ng –version
