Thanks Julian, I knew it was something like that but your explanation was great to have it spelled out clearly. The erasing of the node_modules folder was the part I wasn't so sure off... you never know what happens when things are erased.

You are welcome.<br />

node_modules is completely discardable - for a variety of reasons you don't want to be hauling it around with your project. It contains the external dependencies of your application - governed by what is specified in your package.json.

I am working in Angular 7 and began the process of Upgrading to Angular 8. In the process I discovered that Angular Flex was not yet compatible with Angular 8. So I had to downgrade back to Angular 7.<br />
<br />
What I would like to do is set up a test environment where I could begin experimenting with Angular 8. This would require me to be operating two different versions of Angular on the same local machine.<br />
<br />
Is that possible and if so, what is the best way to do that?

Angular is a JavaScript open-source web application framework used to develop single-page applications. It aims to simplify both the development and the testing of such applications by providing a framework for client-side model–view–controller (MVC) and model–view–view-model (MVVM) architectures, along with components commonly used in rich Internet applications. Angular is the front-end part of the MEAN stack, together with Node.js runtime, Express.js backend framework and MongoDB database.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
