I initially used a computer running windows 10 and also on another computer that runs windows 8.1 but, I still receive the same message on both computers. The error log is:
npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL
npm ERR! Could not install from "@angular\cli" as it does not contain a package.json file.
The node and npm versions are 8.2.1 and 5.3.0 respectively.
When I run the command on git bash I receive a different error message. The error log is:
npm ERR! code EINVALIDTAGNAME
npm ERR! Invalid tag name "@angularcli": Tags may not have any characters that encodeURIComponent encodes.
