How to use AngularJS 2 without npm and Node.js?

angular, npm

Solution

You need the `node_modules` folder in your project, which you get from npm or you could find online somewhere. I have ran projects without npm a few times, rather than using npm and the `npm start` command you can just run your code with whatever editor you are usings start commands.

Problem

The current versions of AngularJS 2 references always npm based configurations. - Is it possible to manage a project of AngularJS 2 without npm? - Is it possible to use AngularJS 2 in production statically without npm/Node.js I already found answers for examples using the beta versions of AngularJS 2 usiing links like https://code.angularjs.org/2.0.0-beta.17/angular2-all.umd.min.js. But for the current versions (like 2.1.1) there is no support left. Every examples and documentations point to npm (like https://angular.io/guide/quickstart).
