ng is not recognized as an internal or external command

[muscaiu]

Running windows 7 Professional 32bit.

I tried running npm install -g angular-cli both under normal or admin.

I also tried adding it to the Enviorment Variables under PATH: (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\angular-cli\bin\ng) , with no success also.

What am i doing wrong?

The only thing that you are doing wrong is using windows 😄

Just add %AppData%\npm; to the user variable(since %AppData% dir is depending on user) PATH to fix it.

You will need to log out then log back in for the change to your PATH variable to take effect.

@muscaiu are you still having this problem? @RicardoVaranda's solution seems the right one. Your system wasn't configured with the right PATH for some reason.

I have the same problem, the path to npm added to the PATH variable, so I think the problem is that the system can not run "ng" file.

I fixed the problem.

In case you are editing environment variables make sure you edit for account you are running under.

After spend about one hour to fix "ng is not recognized" in my Windows console I opened a new prompt as "administrator", unninstalled the "angular-cli", cleaned npm cache via "npm cache clean" and installed it again and finally worked o/

I guess the main issue is because you need to do all this installation process as root ("as administrator" in Windows).

Use NodeJS command prompt rather Windows Command, NodeJs command prompt will recognize ng.

[gautamjgithub]

Just open your command prompt (run as administrator). Ensure node --v is 6.9.0 or higher and npm --v is 3.0.0 r higher.

After that run the following command:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Once angular is installed. you can see an entry of angular cli in the path

C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules@angular

Then try ng help. It will work.

i had same "ng is not recognized as internal and external command,operable program or batch file "
node version:6.10
just upgrade new version like node 6.11 or latest
while re-installing angular put it in new path like c://erp/ee
