I had the same error, but I am running Windows 10 and none of answers worked for me. These were the steps I took to get it resolved:

Verify Angular is installed by running the following command in Git BASH:

npm run ng -v

Install Angular if it is not already installed by running the following command:

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

Get the npm PATH by running the following command:

npm config get prefix

Open up advanced system settings by either using the shortcut windows+pause (aka break) and clicking on Advanced System Settings or by using Cortana to search for the phrase System Environment Variables

Click on Environment Variables to bring up the environment variables dialog.
