Installing angularjs with NPM and NODEJS brings an error in ubuntu 16 04

Question

Using npm, I'm having trouble installing angularjs version 1.5.7. My package has been prepared. The following is a json file.

{

 "name": "angular",
 "version": "1.5.7"

}

When I run the following command in the terminal where my project is:

sudo npm install angular@1.5.7 --save

The following error notice appears:

npm ERR! Linux 4.4.0-24-generic
npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/bin/npm" "install" "angular@1.5.7" "--save"
npm ERR! node v6.2.2
npm ERR! npm  v3.9.5
npm ERR! code ENOSELF

npm ERR! Refusing to install angular as a dependency of itself
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this error at:
npm ERR!     <https://github.com/npm/npm/issues>

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR!     /home/nato/angular/npm-debug.log

This is my first time using npm to install angularjs, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Rename your angular folder to angular-test or something else other than angular. Also, if you have a package.json file, make sure the package name isn't "angular."
