Clean Development Environment (Web Dev)
How do we have a completely clean DEV environment to write an application in Node / Angular / Bootstrap / ...? I am having trouble with CLI's and updates each time. Does anyone have a real Best Practice? I would like to take an environment that I have been hacking around in and clean it up, ready for a new project easily. Ideally, I would love to see a script to run that will clean it all up in one shot.

How about using VMs? I create / update my VMs with latest updates/IDE patches and then use copies(I do not use differencing disks).

That is what I do now. That works flawlessly of course but it would be nice to have a script. Maybe that is a good project for me to share with the world.
I prefer VMs 'cause I can guarantee that nothing has *polluted* my environment. In my day to day activities, I install and configure anywhere between 10 to 50 tools/softwares/code etc. I can't always be sure if something has messed up a registry entry or a system config file somewhere. I understand the process is painful and scripts might be helpful if you are not experimenting on lot of external tools.

I'll take that answer for now Chinmay. I do about the same on testing things. VM's are the way to go for knowing absolutely. I guess it is what it is.

This works perfectly. It builds without issue. I would add the following step.
Step 1: npm install -g @angular/cli
Also, on Serve step: ng serve --open
