Works well for me 1. Link cli to npm: npm link @angular/cli

2. Set the location of npm folder: export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"

3. Clear cache and re-install cli: npm uninstall -g @angular/cli npm cache clean npm install -g @angular/cli

4. Give alias to ng path : alias ng="/Users/Dharshini/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng"

5. Go back to the base user: cd ~

6. Change path using vim: sudo vim /etc/paths

7. Add ~/.npm-global/bin to the end of the file. type i to insert type :wq to save and exit

8. restart terminal and type: echo $PATH

9. Finally know the version using: ng version

Answer 2

My solution: Node modules resides in the directory /opt/node/bin

Add these two lines to your .bashrc file NODE_BIN="/opt/node/bin" export PATH="$PATH:$NODE_BIN"

Save and close .bashrc and run: source .bashrc

.... Currently, both node and npm runs without being referenced in .bashrc, but that is because the executable files for node and npm are located in /usr/local/bin directory which itself is by default on the $PATH. So, instead of adding the 'ng' executable to /usr/local/bin, I exported /opt/node/bin to my path instead, to prevent any other modules in the future from not being found.

For solving this issue

-bash: ng: command not found

you need to set PATH, follow these steps and you'll be good to go:

1. Set the location for npm Folder, Run any one of them:

 export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH" export PATH="$HOME/.npm-packages/bin:$PATH"

2. Clear cache and Re-install Angular

 npm uninstall -g @angular/cli npm cache clean npm install -g @angular/cli

3. Give an alias to ng Path-

   PATH = /Users/Dharshini/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng

 alias ng="PATH"
