The Angular CLI (Command Line Interface) is a set of tools that is used to initialize, develop, generate files, scaffold, and test and maintain Angular application.

You can use CLI commands to generate an app, the default AppModule is as follows –

To use  Angular CLI, we need to install it first and it should be installed globally in your machine.

npm install -g @angular/cli



Example –  CREATE your project directory as like below
F:\AngularTestApp\DemoApp>npm install -g @angular/cli
C:\Users\Anil\AppData\Roaming\npm\ng -> C:\Users\Anil\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@angular\cli\bin\ng
C:\Users\Anil\AppData\Roaming\npm
`-- @angular/cli@1.5.0
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@^1.0.0 (node_modules\@angular\cli\node_modules\chokidar\node_modules\fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.1.2: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})

The Angular CLI will add reference to components, directives and pipes automatically in “app.module”.
