As an extra bit of information, I do have typings installed:

ricardo@Ricardo:~/WebstormProjects/temp$ typings

Usage: typings <command>

Commands:
    bundle, i, in, info, init, install, la, list, ll, ls, open, prune, r,
    remove, rm, search, uninstall, view

typings <command> -h   Get help for <command>
typings <command> -V   Enable verbose logging

typings --version      Print the CLI version

[email protected] /home/ricardo/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/typings

EDIT:
If I run the following command:
npm run postinstall

It seems to install just fine.

Windows 7 gives me a slightly different error, but the main cause is the same. This is a clean install of Node 6.2.1 with npm 3.9.3. Installed Node, then npm install -g angular-cli

Command
ng new TestApp

All ng (ng --version, ng serve, ng test) return the same error. Everything was installed under npm in the Windows Command window running as an Administrator with the shortcut being executed as Run as Adminstrator from the right click menu.

I'm also getting this error when upgrading my existing repo from beta.5 to beta.6 following the update guide. I'm unsure how to proceed.

Hi Blasz,

I was having a similar issue on Ubuntu when I ran ng serve so I downloaded Windows 10 instead and still encountered the same problem. After all that, I realised it's definitely an issue with the CLI and not the desktop. The CLI is still in beta and it's also something to do with running the latest version of node v6 2.1. I'm building the boilerplate from scratch now on the main angular.io docs but it would be good to use angular material with it which I currently cannot do.

[filipesilva]

I'm looking into this now.

[filipesilva]

This is a reported issue with the @angular/[email protected].* router: https://github.com/angular/vladivostok/issues/49.

It will need an upgrade of that project to fix the error, and we'll make a new CLI release including that and rc2.

Meanwhile I only have two solutions to the issue:

• Have typings installed globally npm install -g typings@latest OR
• Remove @angular/[email protected] from the generate project's package.json and re-run npm install.

[Chowarmaan]

Installing Typings globally, and then running in the GIT BASH shell fixed my issue
