I can't install AngularJs in Visual Studio

Question

Hello, I'm having a problem with installing AngularJs in VS. When I tried to search for it in the NuGet package manager and browse for it, it says No packages found and the package source is in Microsoft Visual Offline Packages.

Hello Rin,

Thanks for reaching out on Microsoft Q and A!

You won’t find AngularJS in Visual Studio’s NuGet package manager because it’s a client-side JavaScript library.Instead, you have two good options:

1. Download Manually: Visit the AngularJS website, download the angular.js file, and add it to your project. Just include it in your HTML file, and you’re good to go.
2. Use npm: For a more modern approach, install Node.js if you don’t have it yet, then run npm install angular in your terminal. You can then link to AngularJS from your node_modules folder in your HTML.

If you're using Visual Studio Code, it has handy AngularJS extensions to make development easier. And if you're starting fresh, you might want to explore the latest Angular framework for more up-to-date features and active community support! I hope this makes it clearer!

Hi @Rin, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

You need to first install the npm package manager:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm 

Then, refer to the following link to install Angular CLI using the npm package manager.

https://angular.io/cli 

If you need to create an Angular app in Visual Studio, please see the documentation:
