@ angular / cli doesn't work after installation
I have installed @ angular / cli on my MacBook computer. Node server version is v6.9.5 and npm version is 3.10.10. I ran the following command to install @ angular / cli.
sudo npm install -g @ angular-cli
When I run ng help command or any command for ng. This shows me the following error:
Parsing .angular-cli.json failed. Please make sure your .angular-cli.json is valid JSON. Error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 22
InvalidConfigError: Parsing .angular-cli.json failed. Please make sure your
.angular-cli.json is valid JSON.

I also uninstalled both @ angualr / cli and cleared the cache and then installed @ angualr / cli again. I am running the following command.
sudo npm uninstall -g @angular-cli
npm cache clean sudo
npm install -g @angular-cli
The same problem still appears.

The package you specified is invalid. For a fresh install use npm install -g @angular/cli
. See here for details https://github.com/angular/angular-cli#installation
Also if you are updating this, https://github.com/angular/angular-cli#updating-angular-cli
If you are updating from beta / version follow this https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/stories-1.0-update
angular-cli
uses angular.cli.json. whereas @angular/cli
using .angular.cli.json
