I did the following:
npm install -g angular-cliOpen a termina. Run
ng. WorksUse NodeJS command prompt rather Windows Command, NodeJs command prompt will recognize ng.
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 have faced and fixed this issue relates node-sass and python error.Try installing latest angular cli command with the steps below
Set the system variable path as well: C:\Users\windowsusername\AppData\Roaming\npm
C:\Users\windowsusername\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules@angular\cli\bin;
C:\Program Files\nodejs;
Then start using angular cli command prompt using: angular client project folder path>npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
angular client project folder path>npm install -g node-gyp
is easy
add to environment variables your path to ng in my case C:\Users\Administrador\AppData\Roaming\npm
in command prompt type PATH
now it Works !
(All this on Windows 10 ) 1.-Uninstall Node from computer, 2.-Remove this folders (npm and npm-cache) >C:\Users\YourPcName\AppData\Roaming\npm and >C:\Users\YourPcName\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache 3. Install the Latest Version, in my case was node 10.5.0 4.- Open cmd and run npm install -g @angular/cli and this work for me
I’m gonna have to chime in regarding the admin install: you definitely shouldn’t not use admin privileges for npm installs, it leads to a lot of problems. You can read more about it here: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions.
