title: Adding Angular application to an existing project
body: <p>I've got an existing project where I'd like to add an Angular application using the Angular CLI.</p>
  
  <p><strong>The project structure looks like this right now:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>node_modules</li>
  <li>src
  
  <ul>
  <li>client</li>
  <li>server</li>
  <li>shared</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li>.angular-cli.json</li>
  <li>package.json</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The client and shared folders are still empty and I'd like to install my angular app inside the client folder but still I want to maintain just one package.json for the whole project. That's why I tried to add the angular-cli.json with the following content:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "project": {
      "name": "projectname"
    },
    "apps": [
      {
        "root": "./src/client",
        "outDir": "./dist/browser"
      }
    ]
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>The question:</strong></p>
  
  <p>What's the best way to add the Angular application (into /src/client) to my project now? I wasn't able to simply run <code>ng new</code> because of the existing package.json and probably it wouldn't generate the app inside the /src/client folder then either.</p>
