npx -p @angular/cli@6.2.7 ng new angular-6-foo

Check package.json file:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 | { "name": "angular-6-foo", "version": "0.0.0", "scripts": { "ng": "ng", "start": "ng serve", "build": "ng build", "test": "ng test", "lint": "ng lint", "e2e": "ng e2e" }, "private": true, "dependencies": { "@angular/animations": "^6.1.0", "@angular/common": "^6.1.0", "@angular/compiler": "^6.1.0", "@angular/core": "^6.1.0", "@angular/forms": "^6.1.0", "@angular/http": "^6.1.0", "@angular/platform-browser": "^6.1.0", "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^6.1.0", "@angular/router": "^6.1.0", "core-js": "^2.5.4", "rxjs": "~6.2.0", "zone.js": "~0.8.26" }, "devDependencies": { "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~0.8.0", "@angular/cli": "~6.2.7", "@angular/compiler-cli": "^6.1.0", "@angular/language-service": "^6.1.0", "@types/jasmine": "~2.8.8", "@types/jasminewd2": "~2.0.3", "@types/node": "~8.9.4", "codelyzer": "~4.3.0", "jasmine-core": "~2.99.1", "jasmine-spec-reporter": "~4.2.1", "karma": "~3.0.0", "karma-chrome-launcher": "~2.2.0", "karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter": "~2.0.1", "karma-jasmine": "~1.1.2", "karma-jasmine-html-reporter": "^0.2.2", "protractor": "~5.4.0", "ts-node": "~7.0.0", "tslint": "~5.11.0", "typescript": "~2.9.2" } } |
Setup new Angular project with specific Version using local Angular CLI
Install local Angular CLI
Go to the folder that you want to contain all Angular projects with the specific version, run command (for example, we use Angular 4):
npm install @angular/cli@1.4.9
node_modules folder will be generated.
Setup new Angular project
On the folder that you’ve installed Angular CLI, run the familiar command:
ng new angular4foo
Now run the ng --version command on project folder, the result would be like:
Check package.json file:
