Angular installing app-module looks in local users folder

Bear with me. There is so many new technologies for me here. So I am not sure whether this is an npm, adal or Angular question.

I am trying to create a project with Angular 6 and ADAL.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/microsoft-adal-angular6

According to the sample I need to install an app-routing module.

For this I followed:
https://angular.io/tutorial/toh-pt5

How I get following error:

C:UsersxxDocumentsVisual Studio 2017ProjectsWebApplication18>ng generate module app-routing --flat --module=appng generate module app-routing --flat --module=app


Local workspace file ('angular.json') could not be found.
Error: Local workspace file ('angular.json') could not be found.
at WorkspaceLoader._getProjectWorkspaceFilePath (C:UsersxxAppDataRoamingnpmnode_modules@angularclimodelsworkspace-loader.js:44:19)
at WorkspaceLoader.loadWorkspace (C:UsersxxAppDataRoamingnpmnode_modules@angularclimodelsworkspace-loader.js:31:21)

For some reason it looks in my users folder for the angular.json file, and not the current folder. Any ideas how to solve this?

Sounds like your cli is confused.

try this:
npm run -- ng generate module app-routing --flat --module=app

npm run -- ng generate module app-routing --flat --module=app

NPM will run the cli which is installed in node_modules.

node_modules
