I am trying to create a new Angular project through ng new command
ng new <angularProjectName>
On navigating inside the newly created project and checking the package.json file, and it has older versions in dependecies and dev dependencies
I tried to uninstall angular-cli and install latest @angular/cli through this https://github.com/angular/angular-cli
I checked for the outdated npm packages - using npm outdated
and got the list

I also tried to update the package.json through
npm update
But no success here also. I am not sure what I am missing here, my requirement is pretty simple When i create a new angular project through ng new command, I want package.json to have the latest angular versions and How can I update an already existing project's package.json version to reflect the latest version of angular
I tried both uninstalling and reinstalling @latest of @anguarl/cli and npm update but of no use.
