This section assumes that you already have experience with the Angular framework. To find out more, please refer to the Angular Quickstart section at https://angular.io/guide/quickstart.

To get the application up and running fast, we are going to use the Angular CLI. The Angular CLI is a project that's maintained by the Angular team. It's described in the official documentation (https://angular.io/cli#cli-overview-and-command-reference) as follows:

You can install the latest version of the Angular CLI through the NPM package manager. Typically, developers install it as a global tool so that they can generate a new project in any folder using the command-line tool or Terminal application.

To find out more about the Angular CLI, and globally get a list of all supported commands with a detailed explanation of what they do, please go to https://angular.io/cli.

Run the following command to install the CLI:

npm i -g @angular/cli@latest

The output should look similar to the following:

/usr/local/bin/ng -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng
+ @angular/[email protected]

The NPM package manager downloads and installs the Angular CLI and all its dependencies. Upon completion, it also registers a new global ng command that you can use anywhere.

Now, let's create our Angular project scaffold, which we will use with the Electron shell.
