Very weird issue. Whenever I scaffold a new project with angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.8 and try to build the project for the first time, I get a list of errors. My workaround was simply to uninstall / install typescript@beta and the project builds fine: npm uninstall --save-dev typescript npm install --save-dev typescript@beta ng build Asciinema record

we probably need to wait with updating until angular-cli team fixes that fortunately RC6 isn’t as revolutionary as RC5, it’s mostly cleanup so waiting a couple days (hopefully) won’t change much

I concur with @CalvinDale, I, also, could not get the process @SeekingMonkey described to work, but @emyann’s worked like a charm.

I followed the process outlined by @SeekingMonkey. ng serve still threw the same list of exceptions. Then I tried @emyann’s process and it started working.

Check out dematic-rodrigo-silveira’s post on https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/1919. I will summarize below. Huge thanks to dematic-rodrigo-silveira! I was tearing my hair out about this one.

For a new project, there are a few steps:

Update Node to 6.5 and npm to 3.10.3

You can check your versions with node -v and npm -v respectively.
These can be both be updated from the nodejs.org download site. The installer installs both of them. https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/

Update Typescript to 2.0+

check with tsc -v
npm install typescript@next will update you to 2.1.0

Follow the README’s instructions on installing the new cli

npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm install -g angular-cli@webpack
npm new projectname Creates your new project
cd projectname moves you into the newly created directory

Modify project dependencies

Open package.json from your apps root directory
Under “devDependancies”, locate “typescript”.
Change “^2.0.0” to “2.0.0”. This locks yourproject at typescript 2.0.0 instead of 2.1.0.
Save

ng serve app works! ng init npm install --save-dev angular-cli@webpack to set the correct cli

Once this is complete, you should be able to serve and test without issues. I am loving the new cli.

Thank you to the CLI team! Happy coding!
