By default, installing angular-CLI gets the latest version, but sometimes we work with projects built in an old version.

To downgrade your current angular-cli, follow these steps.

## Remove angular-cli

```bash
sudo npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean --force
```

## Install specific angular-cli

```typescript
npm install -g  @angular/cli@6.1.1
```

Have a nice day!
