How to Install and Set Up Angular

Angular is a popular frontend framework used to create dynamic web applications. It is a powerful tool that allows developers to create complex web applications quickly and easily. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install and set up Angular for your project.

Install Node.js

The first step in setting up Angular is to install Node.js. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that allows you to run JavaScript code on the server. It is required for Angular to work properly. To install Node.js, go to the Node.js website and download the latest version. Once the download is complete, follow the instructions to install Node.js on your system.

Install Angular CLI

Once Node.js is installed, you can install the Angular CLI. The Angular CLI is a command line interface that allows you to create and manage Angular projects. To install the Angular CLI, open a terminal window and run the following command:npm install -g @angular/cli
This will install the latest version of the Angular CLI.

Create a New Project

Once the Angular CLI is installed, you can create a new project. To create a new project, open a terminal window and run the following command:ng new my-project
This will create a new project called "my-project" in the current directory.

Serve the Project

Once the project is created, you can serve it using the Angular CLI. To serve the project, open a terminal window and run the following command:ng serve
This will start a development server and serve the project at http://localhost:4200/.

Edit the Project

Once the project is served, you can edit the project files. The project files are located in the "src" directory. You can edit the files using any text editor or IDE.

Build the Project

Once you have finished editing the project files, you can build the project. To build the project, open a terminal window and run the following command:ng build
This will build the project and create a "dist" directory containing the compiled files.
