My-app is the name of the folder for your application. You can now create a new Angular application by typing: ng new my-app To install the Angular CLI, in a terminal or command prompt type: npm install -g may take a few minutes to install.

To install and use the command line interface as well as run the Angular application server, you'll need the Node.js JavaScript runtime and npm (the Node.js package manager) installed. We'll be using the Angular CLI for this tutorial.
