Dupe of #4207, fixed in #5523, out next release.

[Nidhi08]

I downloaded the next release by installing @angular/cli@latest.
I still get the same error.

I have tried the following option to resolve the issue
Steps to resolve the issue

$ pwd
it shows —> /Users/YourName /*** That is your Home path***/
Execute the below command to display the hidden files

$ defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true
$ killall Finder
After executing the above command you will see the hidden files.
if “.angular-cli.json” file exist under “/Users/yourname” (i.e Home Path) then remove “.angular-cli.json” file.

then navigate to your application path and try execute ‘ng’ command.
