I tried downloading the Routing and Navigation example from this page
Here's the link to the specific zip.
I run the following sequence of commands:
- npm install
- npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest
- ng -v
- ng serve -o
From what I can make out Cannot read property 'config' of null is somehow related to a bad version of the CLI. But if I create a new project I can start it successfully with my existing setup
- ng new router
- cd router
- npm install
- ng serve -o
Old directory structure (from zip download) includes these files:
- bs-config.json
- e2e-spec.ts
New directory structure (from ng new):
- .angular-cli.json
- e2e is a folder with files inside
- karma.conf.js
- protractor.conf.js
- tsconfig.json
Is there some sort of ng upgrade command to convert a project?
There was some talk on Git about ng init, but that seems to now be a thing of the past.
I believe most of the files are related to end to end testing.

In relation to the error in:
/opt/AngularProjects/router/node_modules/@angular/cli/tasks/serve.js
we have:
const config_1 = require("../models/config");
...
const projectConfig = config_1.CliConfig.fromProject().config;
I suspect this pertains to a missing .angular-cli.json file.
/opt/AngularProjects/router/node_modules/@angular/cli/models/config.d.ts
and
/opt/AngularProjects/router/node_modules/@angular/cli/models/config.js
refer to it.
