title: How to run "npm install" to create node_modules folder for an older Angular project?
body: <p>I'm pulling our code down from our repository to a new laptop.  Our project was built on Angular 5 last year.  Of course, the new laptop has the latest and greatest Angular CLI, NodeJS, and NPM tools install, and Angular 6 was just released. The laptop has Node 8.11.2, NPM 5.6.0, and Angular CLI 6.0.3.</p>
  
  <p>When I run "npm install" to get the "node_modules" folder on my new laptop for this project, I'm getting all kinds of errors and warnings and unable to create the node_modules folder successfully<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oQVMG.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oQVMG.png" alt="enter image description here"></a> (see image attached). What can I do to get this project running.  I don't necessarily care about upgrading to Angular 6 at this time.  I simply need to continue to be able to run and develop this project.</p>
