.angular*files in the user root directory and all will work afterHow it is possible to release a new version of angular-cli and not test new project generation?
Build system should be improved.
Maybe we can change the error message to enable users to remove their leftover files without having to google it first…
I am having lot of trouble with his error message. No .angular* files located in my home/root directories.

This is very disheartening… especially since I am learning angular at the same time.
I got around this issue by removing a stray angular-cli.json file from the folder path where I was trying to install a new Angular app.
I was attempting to install a new app in the directory: /home/vagrant/projects/angular-app
However, inside the /home/vagrant/projects directory was an angular-cli.json file that I kept for a backup. I renamed the file and put a ‘1’ in front of the file name and was able to install successfully after that.
