It seems like you're using a project generated using an old version of the Angular CLI. The latest CLI now uses webpack and has a lot of improvements including a simpler workflow, a faster build, and smaller bundles.

To get more info, including a step-by-step guide to upgrade the CLI, follow this link: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/Upgrading-from-Beta.10-to-Beta.14

Please help me on this

It seems the folder in which you are executing ng new my-project has other files e.g. package.json etc. Execute it in a folder that does not have any other files (no problems if there are folders, but not with the same name as your new project). — Santanu Biswas

Did you have previous version of angular-cli installed? If yes, did you uninstall it before installing latest version? — Santanu Biswas

OK... try this.... uninstall angular-cli... clean npm cache... delete folder /usr/local/lib/node_modules/angular-cli (or folder angular-cli from your global npm_modules folder). Reinstall angular-cli and try creating new project. — Santanu Biswas

Do following steps:

Uninstall anguar-cli and clean npm cache by executing the following:

npm uninstall -g angular-cli

npm cache clean
Delete folder /usr/local/lib/node_modules/angular-cli (or folder angular-cli from your global npm_modules folder).
Reinstall angular-cli using npm install -g angular-cli@latest and then try creating new project.
