Angular - cli error - apm@0.0.0 start: `ng serve -o`

Hi,

I am facing issues while starting the server. I tried installing the latest angular cli. As i have nodjs version 8.8.1, it is not compatible with it. So i installed angular cli 1.6.8.

Logs*****

Can we do away with cli modules and try to run the server?

Thanks Deborah. Now it’s working fine

Those are not errors, they are warnings. Running audit fix is causing your problem. The code for this project is set up to work with a specific version. Running audit fix tries to update some of the versions and causes problems trying to run the code.

Try this:

1. Delete all of the folders/files.

2. Re-download or unzip the files.

3. Run npm install. Ignore all warnings and do NOT run audit fix.

4. Run npm start.

Let me know if that fixes things for you.
