ng: command not found while creating new project using angular-cli

Question

Installed angular-cli globally using (npm install -g angular-cli) but when I\'m trying to create project using ng new my-project it is throwing err

Answer 1

This is how I made it worked for me :).

1 - npm link @angular/cli

It will return you the path of cli, which will look like this

/usr/local/Cellar/node/11.3.0_1/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli

For this part, /11.3.0_1 please replace this with your respective node version that can be found by typing node --version

2 - cd ~/

3 - open .bash_profile

In the bash profile create an alias for cli like this,

alias ng="/usr/local/Cellar/node/11.3.0_1/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng"

4 - source ~/.bash_profile

This is how your .bash_profile will look like once you add alias to it.

Now typing ng in the terminal will display output shown in attached snapshot.

I hope this answer will be helpful.
