do i need to install angular if i've installed angula-cli (globally)

i've installed angular-cli globally on a fresh windows machine

npm install -g @angular/cli

ng --version

Angular CLI: 1.6.4
Node: 9.3.0
OS: win32 x64
Angular:
...

now, do i need to install angular as well (globally) or the cli automatically installs it as dependecy?

the getting started guid doesn't say anything about it: https://angular.io/guide/quickstart

Here , to avoid confusion with angular and angular-cli , think about windows and windows command line (cmd), roughly we can compare with it.

If ng --version is working, then Angular installation is done. We can go ahead and start creating Angular project. Use ng serve to start app. All the dependencies will be done automatically.

Now, when we are creating project, if we need to have installed things inside node_modules locally, then use --save option from project's root when doing so.

the angular cli is for creating the app and components etc of angular app, so the angular cli create for you the initial boiler plate with all the dependencies with the command ng new newProject then cd newProject and for start the app ng serve then it create and install all the dependencies in the folder newProject.

hope it helps.

Just run 

ng new MY_PROJECT_NAME; cd MY_PROJECT_NAME; ng serve

And you will see.

(Spoilers : the answer is no)
