Installation tutorial on older documents is installing the latest version of @angular/cli

[raveenita]

📚 Docs or angular.io bug report

Description

I was taking a look at the old documentation and I noticed that the installation command was the same used to install the latest version of @angular/cli

npm i @angular/cli@ -g

I supposed that the correct command would be something like:

npm i @angular/cli@^8 -g

@aikidave this is an interesting problem- do we want archived versions of the docs site to explicitly specify instructions for old versions of Angular? I could see going either way

Is it possible to use a newer version of the CLI to create different versions of Angular apps?

I think if one is looking the old docs, they might want the old version on the apps as well.
