Question

I tried running npm install -g angular-cli

I also tried adding it to the Enviorment Variables under PATH: (C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node

Answer 1

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.
