The term 'ng' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet
Today, while working through some basic AngularJS Intro, I ran into a problem.
I opened PowerShell to get going on the project. NPM worked.
I was able to install the Angular using:
npm install -g @angular/cli
Anytime I tried to run ng, I would get:
the term 'ng' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet
Solution 1:
The first path in the path variable needs to be the NPM path. Opening the Node.js command prompt I found that the ng command worked there. I dug into the shortcut and found that it references a command to ensure the first Path variable is NPM. To Fix:
- Right Clicked on My Computer (windows)
- Selected Advanced System Settings
- Clicked "Environment Variables"
- Under "Path" variable, made the FIRST value listed
%AppData%\npm
Once I did that I was able to close powershell and reopen and all worked.
Solution 2:
First setup Node.js, then run this command to install angular globably:
npm install -g @angular/cli
Now run ng command. This work for me.
