ng add @nguniversal/express-engine
The previous command uses the ng add command of the Angular CLI to install the @nguniversal/express-engine npm package. The @nguniversal/express-engine package is the heart of the Angular Universal library and consists of a Node.js Express web server at its core.
When we execute the preceding command to install Angular Universal, we are not only installing the library but also modifying our Angular CLI workspace with the following files:
angular.json: This creates new entries in thearchitectsection to build and enable our Angular Universal application....
