Why do I have @angular/core in node_modules, but s

Question

I downloaded an example project from angular.io , from here https://angular.io/generated/zips/cli-quickstart/cli-quickstart.zip

and ran npm install in the root folder, as in this tutorial

and somewhy, although I have the corresponding angular packages in both node_modules and package.json, still I got this:

This worked in a similar situation:

Uninstall NodeJS on your machine.

If installed with the downloadable package installer - (Add Remove Programs > Select NodeJS and click uninstall)

Download and install NodeJS 6.10.3 (https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.10.3/node-v6.10.3-x64.msi)

Clean-up node_modules folder

rm -rf node_modules/

Clean-up any temp folders

Run these commands

npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g @angular/cli
npm install
