You should add the path where ng cmd located  By default  it should be located on C  Users user AppData Roaming npm  NB  Here  user  may vary as per your pc username

User · Answer

You should not add C  Users Administrator AppData Roaming npm node modules angular-cli bin ng to your PATH  There is only a javascript file which you cannot use in terminal   You need ng cmd which is probably located at  AppData  Roaming npm  Make sure this path is included in your PATH variable

No need to uninstall angular cli    You just need to make sure the PATH to npm is in your environment PATH and at the top    C  Users yourusername AppData Roaming npm   Then close whatever git or command client your using and run ng-v again and should work
