ng help - 'ng' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Question

ng command is not getting recognized when used. I have already tried installing angular at global level and did the settings as per

Angular's - 'ng' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

angularjs/cli- Ng is command is not working as globle

but no luck.

Can you please let me know what specific settings are required to achieve this.

Error: ng' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Adding project structure as needed

Did you installed angular cli like this: npm i -g @angular/cli ? — Sandip Jaiswal, Oct 04 '18 at 09:19
Are other global npm packages working ? For instance, install `nodemon` and run it, see if the error is the same — , Oct 04 '18 at 09:57

You need to make sure you have nodeJS installed. Best of all, the latest version. You can see if it's working by typing node -v. Your node version should be greater than 6.x.x. Then install angular cli globaly using npm install -g @angular/cli. Then create your project using ng new yourprojectname or try to start your existing cli project by using ng serve in the project root.

I already have latest version of node installed. also, installed angular cli globally but still this is not working. – Vivek Oct 04 '18 at 09:28
can you update your question with the project structure ? – billyjov Oct 04 '18 at 09:29
You mean with all files? – Vivek Oct 04 '18 at 09:43
maybe a photo from your folder structure and paste the content of your `packgage.json` – billyjov Oct 04 '18 at 10:22
Have updated post with structure. package.json is tool long to paste. – Vivek Oct 04 '18 at 10:45
Eventually I have solved this issue by adding ng path in the system environment variable. Thanks for all who responded to my question. – Vivek Oct 06 '18 at 18:35

-->First check angualr cli installed or not by using, ng -v, if not install angualr cli by using

npm install -g @angular/cli .then

Go to the folder “C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\npm” and copy two files i. ng File ii. ng command script
Now navigate to your angular application folder let say (my angular application folder is D:\AngularApplication(where you can see the angular.json file)
Paste above two files
Now windows command prompt also supports ng commands.

Everything works fine now

If you are using windows at first try install(or reinstall) npm or node. Then hit the following command.

**set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\[YOUR_WINDOWS_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\npm;**

Install Node.js and angular as an administrator or give your user an administrator role.
