Try this angular github issue. github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/8572 github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/11311 My guess is you need to do a ` npm cache clean --force`.Andy Danger Gagne– Andy Danger Gagne2019-03-14 14:59:44 +00:00Commented Mar 14, 2019 at 14:59

I don't know what you're trying to do, but this problem usually happens because of npm cache, so, first clean npm cache with following command and then try again.
npm cache clean --force

Welcome to SO. Please edit your post so that it (a) relates to the question ("this" and "that" is a bit misleading) and (b) that you explain why/ how your suggestion solves the issue.
you should probably update your angular cli version:
npm install -g @angular/cli
ng new my-app

I had the same problem, and it was after a forced reboot due to a crash, at least I think so, I don't remember doing anything else unusual. However, somehow npm cache was corrupted.
To solve it I followed this guide, basically the solution is:
- Clean npm cache:
npm cache clean --force - Verify the contents of the cache folder:
npm cache verify
This second command doesn't make much sense to me after clearing the cache. Perhaps I am ignoring some facts about how the npm cache works.
If the error persists after that, in my case it did, then try updating npm: npm i npm@latest -g.
I never knew if only with npm cache verify and/or npm i npm@latest -g the error could be solved.
