Installing Angular Manually

Angular is a popular web application framework and development platform for creating efficient and sophisticated single‑page apps. While many hosting accounts provide automated installers, you may sometimes need to install Angular manually — for example, if you want a specific version or are working on an unmanaged server.

Why Install Angular Manually?

• Greater control over version selection.

• Works on unmanaged VPS or dedicated servers.

• Useful for developers who want custom setups.

Steps to Install Angular Manually

1. Log in to Your Account via SSH.

   • Use an SSH client to connect to your hosting account.

2. Create a Node.js Application Environment.

   • Run the following command (replace example.com with your domain):

     Bash
     
     cloudlinux-selector create --json --interpreter nodejs --version 18 --app-root angdemo --domain example.com --app-uri angdemo angdemo
     

      

3. Initialize Project Directory.

   • Navigate to the project folder:

     Bash
     
     cd ~/angdemo
     

      

   • Create a package.json file:

     {
       "name": "angdemo",
       "version": "1.0.0",
       "description": "My Demo App",
       "main": "app.js",
       "scripts": {
         "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
       },
       "author": "",
       "license": "ISC"
     }
     

      

4. Install Node.js Modules.

   • Replace username with your account username:

     Bash
     
     cloudlinux-selector install-modules --json --interpreter nodejs --user username --app-root angdemo angdemo
     

      

5. Activate Virtual Environment.

   • Replace username with your account username:

     Bash
     
     source /home/username/nodevenv/angdemo/18/bin/activate && cd /home/username/angdemo
     

6. Configure Git (Optional).

   • Angular uses Git for version control. Configure your details:

     Bash
     
     git config --global user.email "user@example.com"
     git config --global user.name "Username"
     

7. Install Angular CLI.

   • Run:

     Bash
     
     npm config set strict-ssl false
     npm install -g @angular/cli
     

      

8. Create a New Angular App.

   • Example:

     Bash
     
     ng new my-app
     

   • This generates a new Angular project named my-app.
