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

make sure environment variables are set properly.

control panel-> system->advanced system settings-> select advanced Tab->
click on environment variables

and make sure in the path below line is available

`C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm`   

here username will get changed based on the user

.

still if its not working yourenvironment variables are not getting reflected so please restart your machine it will work fine

if still you are facing issue your angular cli is not installed properly

please run below commands for reinstalling

   npm uninstall -g @angular/cli

    npm cache clean    or   npm cache clean  --force

    npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

Answer 2

You can also try:

 > npm run ng <command>

Answer 3

What worked for me was that I was missing an file

.npmrc

which is located under

C:\Users\username

That file should contain

prefix=$(APPDATA)\npm

Also my environment path was pointing to my admin user

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

No need to uninstall angular/cli.

1. You just need to make sure the PATH to npm is in your environment PATH and at the top.

C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\npm

2. Then close whatever git or command client your using and run ng-v again and should work

Answer 6

You should add the path where ng.cmd located. By default, it should be located on C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm

NB: Here "user" may vary as per your pc username!
