While trying to create new angular application using Angular CLI 8, it shows the error the same for ng update

I have many time reinstalled angular cli & node. Also updated the local cli

I have came across same issue when I accidentally rewritten ~/.angular-config.json with empty content.

Deleting this file fixed the issue.

Try removing your .angular-config.json, it worked for me.

rm ~/.angular-config.json
