Three things:

Please check environment, if the path is correctly setup or not, for command not found error.
Second, you can go directly lerna folder and execute the command. If you are able to run from here that means problem is there in path ie point 1
The third option is re-install and install it again.

1) Check the ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES that is NODE_PATH is present or not. If not, then have to append the path to PATH environment variable.

2) Re-install again

I faced this issue when I installed lerna using yarn. Reinstalling using npm solved the issue.

I had this issue even with npm.

By explicitly adding

C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\npm

to the PATH variable under System Variables in Environment Variables solves the issue for me.
