ng: command not found

Question

I am trying to run ng build in my project folder, but I get the following response:

bash: ng: command not found

Wha

Answer 1

This was a pain to figure out, so here is my solution

1. npm install -g @angular/cli

2. Make sure the ng path is correct
    * cd ~/npm-global/bin
    * ls and make sure ng exists here!
3. create .bashrc or .bash_profile or .bash_everything file on your home directory with:
    * touch ~/.bash_profile 
open this file with text editor or Sublime or vi or etc.
    * open -e .bash_profile 
4. Add ng as alias
    * writing this:
   alias ng="~/npm-global/bin/ng"  or   alias ng="MyFullPAThere/npm-global/bin/ng"
    * save file and close text editor. 
5. Temporarily Update . bash_profile reference
Your terminal wont take bash updates until a restart but the following command will let you use the updates during the terminal session:
    * source ~/.bash_profile
6. Check that ng works
    * ng --version

Hope that helps someone!
