ng command not found while creating new project using angular-cli

Question

Installed angular-cli globally using  npm install -g angular-cli  but when I m trying to create project using ng new my-project it is throwing error      ng  command not found

Make sure that the npm directory is in your "Path" variable.

If the module is installed properly, it may work if you start it out of your global node module directory, but your command line tool doesn't know where to find the ng command when you are not in this directory.

For Win system variable add something like:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm

And if you use a unix-like terminal (emulator):

PATH=$PATH:[path_to_your_user_profile]/path-to-npm

For me  on MacOSX  I had to do   nvm install stable npm install -g angular-cli   This installed ng into    usr local lib node modules  angular cli bin ng   But npm did not put a link to ng into    usr local bin    Which was why it was not part of the  PATH and therefore available from the command line except via an absolute address   So I used the following the create a link to ng   sudo ln -sf  usr local lib node modules   angular cli bin ng  usr local bin ng

Firstly install   angular cli  by using npm as global module  sudo npm install -g  angular cli   After that try to ping the cli by using  ng  command from the terminal window If any problem like     Command  ng  not found   Then you need to manually setup the      ng   command availability You set this step by running the following command   ln -s path-to-your-ng-command  bin   eg   sudo ln -s  opt node lib node modules  angular cli bin ng  bin

In my case  I was simply running the wrong node version   I had just previously installed a new node version to play around with Angular  2    At work we use 6 x so that is my default in nvm  After restarting the laptop ng stopped working simply because I was running node 6 x again  So for me it was simply a matter of using the version with which I was installing the Angular CLI   nvm use node    with the node alias pointing to the right version   or  nvm use v8 11 3    if you happen to know the version   Check your installed versions and aliases with  nvm list

This is how I made it worked for me      1 - npm link  angular cli  It will return you the path of cli  which will look like this    usr local Cellar node 11 3 0 1 lib node modules  angular cli   For this part   11 3 0 1 please replace this with your respective node version that can be found by typing node --version  2 - cd     3 - open  bash profile  In the bash profile create an alias for cli like this   alias ng   usr local Cellar node 11 3 0 1 lib node modules  angular cli bin ng   4 - source    bash profile  This is how your  bash profile will look like once you add alias to it     Now typing ng in the terminal will display output shown in attached snapshot     I hope this answer will be helpful

First  angular-cli is deprecated and has been replaced with  angular cli  So if you uninstall your existing angular-cli with npm uninstall angular-cli  then reinstall the package with the new name  angular cli you might get some conflicts  My story on Windows 7 is   I had installed angular-cli and reinstalled using npm install -g  angular cli  but after doing some config changes to command-line tools  I started getting the ng command not found issue  I spent several hours trying to fix this but none of the above issues alone worked  I was able to fix it using these steps   Install Rapid Environment Editor and remove any PATH entries for node  npm  angular-cli or  angular cli  Node js will be in your System path  npm and angular entries are in the User path   Uninstall node js and reinstall the current version  for me 6 11 1   Run Rapid Environment Editor again and make sure node js and npm are in your System or User path  Uninstall any existing ng versions with   npm uninstall -g angular-cli  npm uninstall -g  angular cli  npm cache clean   Delete the C  Users  YOU  AppData Roaming npm node modules  angular folder   Reboot  then  finally  run   npm install -g  angular cli   Then hold your breath and run   ng -v  If you re lucky  you ll get some love  Hold your breath henceforward every time you run the ng command  because  command not found  has magically reappeared for me several times after ng was running fine and I thought the problem was solved
