Collection "@schematics/angular" cannot be resolved

Question

I just installed angular cli in my ubuntu, but when I try to create new app by ng new my-dream-app It shows error saying Collection "@schematics/angular" cannot be resolved. Error: Collection "@schematics/angular" cannot be resolved. I installed @schematics/angular by npm install @schematics/angular but it didnt work. I uninstalled angular cli and again reinstalled it but it didnt work, it throws same error.

If you installed angular-cli with -g key, it should be fine. If not, try installing angular-cli globally. Then you could check dependencies. In your node_modules find @angular folder. There inside /cli/node_modules you should see @schematics folder. If it exists, everything should be fine.
