Welcome to Angular!
Angular is a popular platform and framework for building client-side web applications. It is developed and maintained by Google and a community of developers. Angular is known for its scalability, flexibility, and modularity, making it a powerful tool for building dynamic and responsive web applications.
Installing Angular
Before you can start building applications with Angular, you’ll need to install the necessary dependencies and basic components. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting started with Angular:
- First, make sure you have Node.js installed on your computer. You can download and install Node.js from the official website: https://nodejs.org.
- Once Node.js is installed, you can use npm, the Node Package Manager, to install Angular CLI (Command Line Interface). Open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:
npm install -g @angular/cli
This will install Angular CLI globally on your system, allowing you to use it to create and manage Angular projects.
After Angular CLI is installed, you can create a new Angular project by running the following command in your terminal:
ng new my-angular-app
Replace “my-angular-app” with the name of your project. This will create a new directory with all the necessary files and basic components for your Angular project.
Once your project is created, you can navigate to its directory and start the development server by running:
cd my-angular-app
ng serve
This will start a development server and allow you to access your Angular application in your web browser at http://localhost:4200.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Angular and created a new project. You are now ready to start building your own web applications with the power of Angular!
