angular-cli install fails on windows about angular-cli HOT 14 CLOSED

Why does a simple tool like this need a ssh key? I think the angular-cli should make the setup process easier instead more complicated?

from angular-cli.

Do you have your SSH keys set up properly? Looks like perhaps the keys in /home/Hans/.ssh are invalid. Can you check the permissions on that directory and try to clone any repo from github using ssh instead of http?

from angular-cli.

Also you should upgrade your node version to latest (or anything over 4.1.0). Some dependencies of this project require it.

from angular-cli.

I have updated to node 4.2.1 now!
when try to install angular-cli: still same error! -> i do have a .ssh -> see below:
C:\Users\Hans>dir .ssh
Volume in drive C is Windows
Volume Serial Number is AEB8-B189

Directory of C:\Users\Hans.ssh

20.07.2015 18:22

from angular-cli.

git clone with ssh: what do i have to do? (thank's for your support!)
C:\Users\Hans\web\bootcamps\udacity\front-end-2015-10>git clone ssh://github.com/HansS/about-me.git about-me-ssh

Have you generated an ssh key and added it to your github profile? There are steps here: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/#platform-windows

from angular-cli.

I'm also having a problem when installing on windows.
I'm running node -v 4.1.2

My guess is that it uses github to get sources and github requires ssh keys if you don't want to fall victim to random throttling errors over https.

Ok, for me the problem was the version of git that I had installed on my machine. I had git 1.8.* now I have git 2.6 and I was able to install it.

from angular-cli.

I can confirm this. Had to update git to latest version. Does somebody knows the minimal required git version? see also #46 - its not easy to get angular-cli running on windows! 😟

from angular-cli.

I can also confirm this.

from angular-cli.

folks, please keep in mind that this is a prototype - not a production solution, so some setup issues are to be expected. In this case it seems that the git version used by npm to install some dependencies was outdated.

from angular-cli.

For future reference, you can have this error when you try install angular/cli BUT you should install @angular/cli

@angular/cli is the correct package
angular/cli is the wrong package

npm i -g @angular/cli
yarn add @angular/cli
