Ng command not found angular

Question

I'm trying to install angular but I cant get my pc to find the ng command. I have tried aliassing, changing the path variable, uninstalling the angular package, updating node and npm.

I think it's a path problem but I'm not too familiar with this.

In the node.js terminal:

C:\Users\Calvin Swinnen>where ng
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local\node_modules\@angular\cli\bin\ng

In the VSCode integrated terminal:

Calvin Swinnen@DESKTOP-UJODPIS MINGW64 ~/Documents/vakken/web 4/test
$ ng
bash: ng: command not found

Calvin Swinnen@DESKTOP-UJODPIS MINGW64 ~/Documents/vakken/web 4/test
$ npm list -g --depth=0
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local
+-- @angular/[email protected]
+-- [email protected]
+-- [email protected]
+-- [email protected]
`-- [email protected]

npm ERR! missing: opn@~5.3.0, required by @angular/[email protected]
npm ERR! missing: yargs-parser@^10.0.0, required by @angular/[email protected]

[![Calvin Swinnen@DESKTOP-UJODPIS MINGW64 ~/Documents/vakken/web 4/test
$ npm root
C:\Users\Calvin Swinnen\node_modules

Calvin Swinnen@DESKTOP-UJODPIS MINGW64 ~/Documents/vakken/web 4/test
$ npm root -g
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local\node_modules

I have added the global adress to this paths but no succes

With the alias there is a problem with the space in the path: Maybe I could try this first but it would be nice if it just works without aliassing

Calvin Swinnen@DESKTOP-UJODPIS MINGW64 ~/Documents/vakken/web 4/test
$ alias ng="C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local\node_modules\@angular\cli\bin"

Calvin Swinnen@DESKTOP-UJODPIS MINGW64 ~/Documents/vakken/web 4/test
$ ng
bash: C:Program: command not found

In normal windows terminal

C:\Users\Calvin Swinnen>ng
'ng' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Thanks in advance, Calvin

What if you just use a regular cmd prompt? Does it resolve ng command there? — penleychan

What's the command line you used to install angular-cli I noticed your path is referencing to GIT folder, should be under your AppData\Roaming\npm. The command to install angular cli should be npm install -g @angular/cli Here's the link to github of angular-cli — penleychan

I used git Bash as the integrated terminal in vs code, ill try to install in appdata/roaming/npm with the regular cmd when I get home. — Kelvijn

I don't know why you want type of custom configuration - may be you'll face error max of the time.

Anyway, put C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local\ as your PATH. Then close all instance of git-bash and vscode and cmd. Then try ng.

Before doing all, try to find ng.cmd in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local\ ... I hope it will be there.
