How to Build an Angular Project in cPanel?

You can't directly build an Angular project within cPanel. cPanel is a hosting control panel primarily for managing web servers and files, not for building front-end applications.

Here's how you can typically build an Angular project and deploy it on a server managed by cPanel:

1. Set up your Development Environment

Install Node.js: Download and install Node.js from the official website (https://nodejs.org/). Node.js comes bundled with npm (Node Package Manager), which you'll use for managing Angular dependencies.
Install Angular CLI: Open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command to install Angular CLI globally:
```
npm install -g @angular/cli
```

2. Create a New Angular Project

Use the Angular CLI: In your terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to create your project and run the following command, replacing my-angular-project with your desired project name:
```
ng new my-angular-project
```

3. Develop Your Angular Application

Use the Angular CLI: The Angular CLI provides commands for generating components, services, and other project elements. For example, to generate a new component named my-component, use the following command:
```
ng generate component my-component
```
Build your application: Once your development is complete, build your Angular project for production using the following command:
```
ng build --prod
```
This will create an optimized version of your application in the dist folder.

4. Deploy your Application to cPanel

FTP or SSH: Use an FTP client or SSH to upload the contents of the dist folder to your website's root directory on the cPanel server.
Point your domain: Configure your domain name to point to the directory where you uploaded your Angular application.

5. Additional Considerations

Server Configuration: Ensure your server has the necessary dependencies installed, such as Node.js and npm, to run your Angular application. You may need to configure your server to handle Angular routing and other features.
Security: Implement security measures to protect your Angular application from vulnerabilities.
