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

For Mac run

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

then run

alias ng="/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng"

Check if working

ng version

Answer 2

The issue is simple, npm doesn't know about ng

Just run npm link @angular/cli and it should work seamlessly.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

try this :

alias ng="~/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng"

Answer 5

This works to update your angular/cli //*Global package (cmd as administrator)

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache verify
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

Answer 6

If you have a MacOS computer (mine is MOJAVE 10.14.2), just add these lines to the end of your ~/.bash_profile file:

export ANGULAR=~/.nvm/versions/node/v10.8.0/bin/ng
export PATH=$ANGULAR:$PATH

Notice that v10.8.0 is the version of my installed Node.js. To get which version is yours, run this:

node --version

When done, reload it via your terminal/bash:

cd ~
source .bash_profile

After doing these steps you should be able to run your ng binary file.
