Do you have your SSH keys set up properly? Looks like perhaps the keys in /home/Hans/.ssh are invalid. Can you check the permissions on that directory and try to clone any repo from github using ssh instead of http?

[jimthedev]

Also you should upgrade your node version to latest (or anything over 4.1.0). Some dependencies of this project require it.

[HansS]

I have updated to node 4.2.1 now!
when try to install angular-cli: still same error! -> i do have a .ssh -> see below:

Have you generated an ssh key and added it to your github profile? There are steps here: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/#platform-windows

I'm also having a problem when installing on windows.
I'm running node -v 4.1.2

Why does a simple tool like this need a ssh key? I think the angular-cli should make the setup process easier instead more complicated?

[jimthedev]

My guess is that it uses github to get sources and github requires ssh keys if you don't want to fall victim to random throttling errors over https.

[thitemple]

Ok, for me the problem was the version of git that I had installed on my machine. I had git 1.8.* now I have git 2.6 and I was able to install it.

[JohannesHoppe]

I can confirm this. Had to update git to latest version. Does somebody knows the minimal required git version? see also #46 - its not easy to get angular-cli running on windows! 😟

[doczoidberg]

I can also confirm this.

[IgorMinar]

folks, please keep in mind that this is a prototype - not a production solution, so some setup issues are to be expected. In this case it seems that the git version used by npm to install some dependencies was outdated.

[hamzahamidi]

For future reference, you can have this error when you try install angular/cli BUT you should install @angular/cli

@angular/cli is the correct package
angular/cli is the wrong package

npm i -g @angular/cli
yarn add @angular/cli
