Getting Started with Angular

Angular is a popular open-source framework for building dynamic web applications. Here's a quick guide to help you begin your journey:

🚀 Prerequisites

• Install Node.js (required for Angular CLI)
• Install npm (Node.js package manager)
• Familiarity with HTML/CSS/JavaScript

📦 Installing Angular CLI

1. Open terminal and run:

   npm install -g @angular/cli
   

2. Verify installation:

   ng version
   

🧱 Creating a New Project

Run the following command to generate a new Angular app:

ng new my-first-app

• This will create a project folder with:
  • angular.json (project configuration)
  • package.json (dependencies management)
  • src/ directory (source files)
  • e2e/ directory (end-to-end tests)

🔄 Running Your Application

Navigate to the project folder and execute:

cd my-first-app
ng serve

• Access http://localhost:4200 in your browser
• 📌 Tip: Use --open flag to auto-open the browser
