## What is Angular?

Angular is a **component-based framework** for building single-page web applications, maintained by Google and written in TypeScript. Routing, forms, and an HTTP client ship built in.

## When to use it

Angular suits large, structured apps — dashboards, enterprise tools, anything where a consistent architecture across a big team matters. Its opinionated structure keeps large codebases maintainable.

## Installing the CLI

The Angular CLI scaffolds projects, generates code, and runs the dev server.

```bash
npm install -g @angular/cli
ng version
```
