Use Angular CLI to create a Angular 2 Project

Question

I am new in Angular.

I am wondering is there a way use Angular CLI to create a Angular 2 project instead of Angular 4 or 5?

I know that if I already have angular project I can manually change it to Angular 2, like this link use angular 2 instead of angular 4 with angular-cli

But how can I create Angular 2 project at very beginning? If it needs a lower version of Angular CLI, which version? And how can I do it?

Please see my package.json file below:

  },

  }
}

I don't understand why you need older version of angular. To create angular v2 you will need a very old version of angular-cli.

You need instal order version of angular-cli

npm install @angular/[email protected]

and now you can create angular 2.0 app

ng new app-name

In this case you will use older version of angular-cli. I thing that better way is youse new angular-cli and make change in package.json to angular 2.0
