1. Mention any other details that might be useful.

I was able to fix this by installing the newest version of NodeJS (v6.6.0) from the package on nodejs.org, then uninstalling and reinstalling the angular-cli.

I hope that helps someone!!!

Thanks
or if you cannot upgrade node, a simple

npm install -g process-nextick-args

works too

After pushing it it to a repo and pulling it on my Windows 10 computer. I encountered the same "process-nextick-args" issue when trying to run "ng serve". After installing it globally, it still didn't work, but after installing it to devDependencies it worked. Just to make sure it wasn't one or the other, I removed the global installation and it broke again. After replacing the global version and removing the local version in devDependencies, it broke again. Looks like you have to have "process-nextick-args" installed both globally and locally to your devDependencies for it to work, or at least such is the case with Windows 10.

I had same issue then i updated my node and npm version and install angular CLI :)

Check node version

nodejs --version

Update node version

sudo apt-get install nodejs

Update npm version

sudo apt-get install npm

Install angular CLI
