[Solved] Where I can download angular 2

Question

You simply misunderstood the concept behind developing angular projects.

When you’ve downloaded the above mentioned project, you’ll find a file named package.json. It contains, among other things, the entire set of packages you want/have to use throughout your project. And this is where you can adjust your angular version. Here is an example of how it looks like. You’ll find entries with angular 2 versions.

// ...

"private": true,
"dependencies": {
  "@angular/animations": "^4.0.0",
  "@angular/common": "^4.0.0",
  "@angular/compiler": "^4.0.0",
  "@angular/core": "^4.0.0",
  "@angular/forms": "^4.0.0",
  "@angular/http": "^4.0.0",
  "@angular/platform-browser": "^4.0.0",
  "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^4.0.0",
  "@angular/router": "^4.0.0",
  "bootstrap": "^3.3.7",
  "core-js": "^2.4.1",
  "crypto-js": "^3.1.9-1",
  "rxjs": "^5.4.1",
  "zone.js": "^0.8.14"
},
"devDependencies": {
  "@angular/cli": "1.2.4",
  "@angular/compiler-cli": "^4.0.0",
  "@angular/language-service": "^4.0.0",

// ...

So, open your package.json, adjust the version to what suites your needs and save the file.

Then make sure that you are in the project path and run the command

npm install

Now NPM will download the preconfigured angular version you set in package.json. That’s the way it goes.

But please be aware of the fact that you’ll always have a lot of dependencies. It might be that you will face error messages during the installation because other packages aren’t capable working with the latest angular version. You have to adjust them step by step until all versions fit together. There’s no way around though.
