The first thing I would do is reinstall your CLI. Hoek is a little ways down the dependency tree, and it looks like your installation is corrupt.

In addition, you purposely meant to do ng init (The command when you already have a project started) and not ng new (For a new project), correct?

[alcfeoh]

I did ng init on purpose, yes. I just reinstalled everything and it works. Thanks!
