Q:

Angular 5 and NPM

Is it possible to install Angular 5 dependencies(currently in RC stage) using npm?
This command shows no Angular 5 dependencies:
npm show @angular/core@* version

Or is it possible to download it from repository and install: https://github.com/angular/angular/
Thanks

A:

Disclaimer: Angular 5 has been released (on Nov 1st 2017) and this is the npm command to upgrade to it (windows syntax):
npm install @angular/animations@'^5.0.0' @angular/common@'^5.0.0' @angular/compiler@'^5.0.0' @angular/compiler-cli@'^5.0.0' @angular/core@'^5.0.0' @angular/forms@'^5.0.0' @angular/http@'^5.0.0' @angular/platform-browser@'^5.0.0' @angular/platform-browser-dynamic@'^5.0.0' @angular/platform-server@'^5.0.0' @angular/router@'^5.0.0' typescript@2.4.2 rxjs@'^5.5.2'
npm install typescript@2.4.2 --save-exact
