How to Create a specific version of Angular Project using CLI?

Using CLI you can not create specific angular version.

But you can install specific version of angular CLI into particular folder.

For Example :

First create new folder inside any drive. I'm going to create demo folder in D drive. Ex: d:\projects\demo.

Then find this folder inside Command Prompt(cmd) or just type cmd into your created folder addressbar in windows and hit enter.

Now type angular specific version command : npm install @angular/cli@1.7.x for angular 5. and use similar command for other version.

After complete the installation, just create new angular project into your specific folder that you recently install angular. Ex: d:\projects\demo\.

Now create angular project using the command ng new Project_name and it will create your specific angular version Project.

In my example it will create angular 5 project.

You can use npx command which is Node.js package runner, by running packages directly from the registry without effecting the globally installed package registry (-g).

@next will automatically install the latest preview version from Angular repo (now days refers to version 9 rc), like so:

npx @angular/cli@next new Angular9Project

Otherwise, you can provide the specific version:

npx @angular/cli@7 new Angular7Project

NPX comes bundled with NPM version 5.2+

The Easy Way:example:npm install -g @angular/cli@6 here the -g flag tells npm to do this install globally. The 6 on the end tells npm that I want the latest available version 6.

if I want to create a new application for Angular 5 I do this :

> npm install -g @angular/cli@1> ng new my-ng5-app

Remember, Angular CLI was version 1.7 for Angular 5.

if I want to create a new application for Angular 6 I do this :

> npm install -g @angular/cli@6> ng new my-ng6-app

if I want to create a new application for Angular 7 I do this :

> npm install -g @angular/cli@7> ng new my-ng7-app

I hope it would be helpful for you thanks....!
