Setting up Angular and create project

Angular 25, Oct 2023

Setting up Angular involves several steps, including installing the necessary tools and creating a new Angular application. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

  1. Prerequisites: Make sure you have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your computer. You can download and install them from the official website: Node.js.
  2. Angular CLI Installation: The Angular CLI (Command Line Interface) is a powerful tool for managing Angular projects. You can install it globally using npm by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:
npm install -g @angular/cli
  1. Create a New Angular Project: Once the Angular CLI is installed, you can create a new Angular project using the following command:
ng new your-project-name
  1. Project Setup: After running the ng new command, you'll be prompted with several setup options, such as routing and styling. You can choose the options that suit your project's requirements. If you're unsure, you can go with the default settings by pressing Enter.
  2. Navigate to Your Project: Change your working directory to the newly created project folder:
cd your-project-name
  1. Serve the Application: You can use the Angular CLI to start a development server that serves your application. Run the following command:
ng serve

This command will compile your code and start a development server at http://localhost:4200/. You can access your Angular application by opening a web browser and navigating to this URL.

  1. View Your App: Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:4200/. You should see the default Angular app running. Any changes you make to your project files will automatically trigger a live reload in the browser.
  2. Code Editor: Use a code editor of your choice (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or Atom) to work on your Angular project. You can open the project folder in your code editor to start making changes to your application.
  3. Start Developing: Now that you have your Angular project set up, you can start developing your application by modifying the components, templates, and styles in the project. The main application code is located in the src folder.
  4. Additional Setup (Optional): Depending on your project's requirements, you may need to set up additional libraries, packages, or services, such as routing, forms, HTTP client, and more. You can add these as needed during development.

That's it! You've successfully set up an Angular project and can start building your web application. Remember to refer to the Angular documentation and tutorials for more in-depth information on specific Angular features and concepts.
