I fixed it running:

npm un -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean --force
npm i -g @angular/cli

Same for me on macOS as well. However, I got it working by: sudo npm uninstall -g angular/cli @angular/cli then sudo nom install -g @angular/cli @1.6.2

It was quite annoying since I even dropped down from node 8.x back node 6.x thinking there was come problem there since I just updated node/npm today.

Update: fixed by upgrading to node v9.4.0

Should this be considered a solution? According to the CLI docs:

Both the CLI and generated project have dependencies that require Node 6.9.0 or higher, together with NPM 3 or higher.

Tried to uninstall 1.5 to test 1.6.2 but when installing 1.6.2

sudo npm install -g @angular/cli@1.6.2

and it came with the infernal issue already raised with the following looping forever :

gyp verb command install [ '8.9.3' ]
gyp verb install input version string "8.9.3"
gyp verb install installing version: 8.9.3
gyp verb install --ensure was passed, so won't reinstall if already installed
gyp verb install version not already installed, continuing with install 8.9.3
gyp verb ensuring nodedir is created /usr/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/node_modules/node-sass/.node-gyp/8.9.3
gyp WARN EACCES user "root" does not have permission to access the dev dir "/usr/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/node_modules/node-sass/.node-gyp/8.9.3"
gyp WARN EACCES attempting to reinstall using temporary dev dir "/usr/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/node_modules/node-sass/.node-gyp"
gyp verb tmpdir == cwd automatically will remove dev files after to save disk space

I suspect the installation script to mess up permissions, as I already did earlier

sudo chown -R root:root /usr/lib/node_modules

@JoshuaAdamYoung and @DavidRollinsSlalom do you guys get this warning? npm WARN @schematics/angular@0.1.12 requires a peer of @angular-devkit/schematics@0.0.43 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
