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

the easiest solution is (If you have already installed angular) :

1 remove the ng alias if existing

unalias ng

2 add the correct alias

alias ng="/Users/<user_name>/.npm-global/bin/ng"

3 run ng serve for example and it will work.

Answer 2

I've solved the same issue with adding an alias like:

alias ng="path-to-your-global-node-modules/angular-cli/bin/ng"

Answer 3

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/

Answer 4

In my case install angular cli

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

update Nodejs to latest, then all should work fine.

...and if you still have that problem, it maybe because you run the command in shell and not in cmd (you need to run command in cmd), check this out and maybe it helps...

Answer 5

This worked for me:

1. Go to C:\Users{{users}}\AppData\Roaming and delete the npm folder
2. Uninstall node and install it again

3. Run the command to install angular cli

   npm install -g @angular/cli
   

Answer 6

running

export PATH=$PATH:/c/Users/myusername/AppData/Roaming/npm 

helped.

Make sure your actual username is in the myusername section
