When we started writing this chapter, the Angular framework had launched its newest version: version 6. In previous chapters, we have already commented on some of the novelties that are present in this version.
The new version is more focused on development tools (such as the Angular CLI) than the evolution of the framework itself. We can cite the new functions of the Angular CLI with commands such as ng update and ng add, which are very useful for updating packages and adding new ones.
The first thing that we need to do is update the Angular CLI on the machine; open your Terminal window and type the following command:
npm install -g @angular/cli
The preceding command will install Angular CLI 6.0.0 on your machine globally.
