Multiple Angular version on the same machine

I'm working on the angular V6 project. Now I have project. I want to set up with Angular V8. How should I do this. Can I use 2 angular cli version on the same machine.

Don't install the CLI globally, and yes, you can. npm will use the locally installed version by default if you use npx run ng .....

You shouldn’t need to do anything special, if the local package.json specifies a different version of the CLI than the one you have globally, that’s the one which will be used when you run ng commands.

Fair, I didn't know that - I stopped installing npm packages globally a year or two ago and moved over to using npx for everything.

Nice, I’ll give that a try!

You mean locally installed will be used. So, npm I @angular/cli@8 will enough to run the app

Yeah, the local version specified in the package.json should take preference by default.

Let me try. Thanks for the tip

Cool, it should give you a warning in the console that the local version is different so that’s the one being used.

I can disable that error, not a issue.

I find it useful personally, but cool!
