When installing Angular CLI with Node.js 8.9.2 and npm 5.5.1 using npm install -g @angular/cli, I get an unexpected JSON parsing error near ‘…nt-webpack-plugin’:‘0’. What is causing this?
hey mate, had similar probs. try this: delete ur node_modules folder and package-lock.json file. then run npm cache clean --force. after that, do npm install again. worked for me. if not, maybe check ur node version? gl!
I’ve encountered similar JSON parsing errors during Angular CLI installation. In my experience, it’s often related to npm cache issues or outdated package versions. Have you tried clearing your npm cache with npm cache clean --force and then attempting the installation again? Also, make sure your Node.js and npm versions are compatible with the Angular CLI version you’re trying to install. Sometimes, updating to the latest LTS version of Node.js can resolve these parsing errors. If those steps don’t work, you might want to try installing a specific version of Angular CLI, like npm install -g @angular/cli@latest, to see if that bypasses the issue.
