build error while using ng build

Question

I getting this error: "You have to be inside an angular-cli project in order to use the build command" after creating a new angular2 app from the CLI. I'm inside the project dir and I don't understand the meaning of the error.

You need to cd into that newly created directory.

cd DIRECTORY_NAME_HERE

Then you can do:

ng build 
ng serve 
// etc

well, that's what I did. Anyway, now it seems to be working but I don't know why. – Ace Jul 12 '16 at 15:53
You might of just somehow changed directory, the cli will prompt that when it's the case. Strange, at least it worked :) – Mark Pieszak - Trilon.io Jul 12 '16 at 16:23
