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 err

Answer 1

According to npm, the angular-cli has been renamed to @angular/cli you can use the following syntax to install it.

npm install -g @angular/cli

Answer 2

In my case, it was happening when I restarted working on an adjacent tab. It was the npm which was not set. Please check the version of npm wither using

npm -v

or if you are having nvm then

nvm list

or

nvm current

I set it to 8.9.1 and then it started working again. I hope it helps.

Answer 3

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 

Answer 4

Same problem here running Windows 10 x64 / NodeJS 6.9.1 / npm 3.10.9.
After installation of Angular CLI via npm:

'ng' command cannot be found

Do the following:

1. Uninstalled npm with npm uninstall -g npm
2. Uninstalled NodeJS via control panel / programs and features
3. Downloaded and ran 'old' NodeJS installer release 6.5.0 from https://nodejs.org/download/release/v6.5.0/ (node-v6.5.0-x64.msi).
4. After NodeJS 6.5.0 installation completed, open powershell and npm install -g angular-cli
5. Grab quick coffee
6. After installation completed, ng worked OK.

Answer 5

Do you install the node js package? https://nodejs.org/en/ Regards

Answer 6

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
