build with angular cli

Question

Having issues to build my angular app with angularcli.On ng build command it shows following error. What am i missing.

 You have to be inside an angular-cli project in order to use the build command.

A Sample one works well. However the old project has this issue. The old project were not created by 'ng new' the angular-cli.json and entries in package.json were added manually. Which did build for a while and with all the compatible version changes with cli, angular, rxjs and zone now it is stuck with this error

ng --version gives me the following

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.28.3
node: 6.11.1
os: win32 x64
@angular/common: 2.3.1
@angular/compiler: 2.3.1
@angular/core: 2.3.1
@angular/forms: 2.3.1
@angular/http: 2.3.1
@angular/platform-browser: 2.3.1
@angular/platform-browser-dynamic: 2.3.1
@angular/router: 3.4.10
@angular/upgrade: 2.0.2
@angular/compiler-cli: 2.3.1

package.json has following entries and more

"name": "project1",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Application to capture info",
"angular-cli": {},
...
"dependencies": {
"@angular/common": "^2.3.1",
"@angular/compiler": "^2.3.1",
"@angular/core": "^2.3.1",
"@angular/forms": "^2.3.1",
"@angular/http": "^2.3.1",
"@angular/platform-browser": "^2.3.1",
"@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^2.3.1",
...
"devDependencies": {
"@angular/compiler-cli": "^2.3.1",

and a standard angular-cli.json

"apps": [
{
  "root": ".",
  "outDir": "dist",
  "assets": [
    "assets",
    "favicon.ico"
  ],
  "index": "index.html",
  "main": "app/main.ts",

You have to be inside your project directory. In terminal window, do

cd YourProjectName
ng build

You can still see angular-cli version, because you installed it globally on your computer

Have you deleted any files or have you done npm install?

Maybe your your local installation is failing, so please reinstall angular cli, following this steps : github.com/angular/angular-cli#updating-angular-cli

Yes I have been doing npm cache clean, npm install... did npm uninstall of angularcli globally and installed again globally. have lost count.
