ng: command not found

[reinos]

After installing angular-cli with the help of this #389 (comment) i installed Angular-cli successfully.

After that i tried a ng command ng --help what gave me the following message. -bash: ng: command not found

Running npm list -g --depth=0 shows me that angular-cli is installed.

ReinosMac:~ reinos$ npm list -g --depth=0
/Users/reinos/.npm/lib
├── angular-cli@0.0.33
├── broccoli-plugin@1.2.0
└── broccoli-source@1.1.0

Running on a Macos.

Am i missing something?

seems to fixed when i add a alias in my bash_profile

alias ng="/Users/reinos/.npm/lib/node_modules/angular-cli/bin/ng"

but that should not be the way to do, right...?

Yeah, you shouldn't need to do that really... how odd. That seems like an npm issue though, where npm isn't setting the path correctly or something.

npm install npm@latest -g should solve the npm-cli problem "NO SUDO"

Removing NODE and using NVM instead fixed a lot of issues.

• removing Node from your system
• install NVM from here https://github.com/creationix/nvm
• Install Node via NVM: nvm install stable
• run npm install -g angular-cli

Come to think of it, I'm using NVM myself. Good advice @reinos.

just missing npm-cli
├── npm@***
in your prefix .npm/lib list

Even when I type ng --help same issue ng: command not found, is there any other alternate rather using nvm because I would like to use npm. I tried to correct the path by adding alias in my .profile but already proxy settings are there, so how can I add new path using alias ng="Users/xxxx/npm/lib/node_modules/angular-cli/bin/ng"

Adding alias worked for me but it's weird, this issue.

[filipesilva]

@info007 you shouldn't have to use nvm, no. Don't quite get why the ng command isn't being copied over to the global npm commands overall, it's not special or different from other global npm commands in any way.

Apparently this is still an issue. Installed angular-cli today, read all the suggestions here. Nothing works. Had to manually add a symlink.

I got this error after I change my node from my initial install. I reinstalled using -g works well for me.
$npm install -g angular-cli
I am using nvm for handling node versions.

I'm using nvm on an ubuntu machine, i solved by using alias too, like this alias ng="/root/.nvm/versions/node/v6.3.1/lib/node_modules/angular-cli/bin/ng"
