Angular is a popular JavaScript platform for server-side programming that allows you to build and run web apps quickly.


In this guide, we will talk about how to use NPM , a Node.js package management system which basically use to install dependencies while development.

What is npm?

npm makes it easy for JavaScript developers to share and reuse code, and makes it easy to update the code that you’re sharing, so you can build amazing things.

NPM is quite similar to Maven which we use in our java applications.

Download NPM from this link  - https://nodejs.org/en/
