I just got a new computer (win 10) and experienced the same problem moving to new environment. I added %APPDATA%\npm to the PATH environment variable. That is where the ng command is (thanks emrhzc).

The problem is NOT the install of the NPM nor the path ! If you want to use the “ng” commend you need to install the angular-cli.

https://cli.angular.io/

have the same problem after installing cli globally; “npm install -g @angular/cli” npm is working fine, suggesting it is among path variables. @LunaBawa, would you mind sharing your solution?

note: in my case the problem was that the above command for global cli installation puts ng into C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm, though it should see the installation as npm pointed in the build path; C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm Adding the location in AppData into build variables solved the problem.

Thanks everyone i think i found a way around this

Have a look at Yar’s answer for finding the npm path. The other answers for how to add that path to your Windows PATH environment variable.
