Angular 8 project not serving

Question

I am a beginner in Angular. Using version 8. I am trying to open my first project using this command in the CLI: ng serve --open. The browser did not open and I got the following error in the console:

chunk {main} main.js, main.js.map (main) 60.6 kB [initial] [rendered]
chunk {polyfills} polyfills.js, polyfills.js.map (polyfills) 140 kB [initial] [r

This might be because of an environment variable of your system path is missing . Add "C:\Windows\System32\" value to your system PATH variable.

where is system path variables? – crazy Feb 11 '20 at 08:37
1. In Search, search for and then select: System (Control Panel) 2. Click the Advanced system settings link. 3. Click Environment Variables. In the section System Variables, find the PATH environment variable and select it. Click Edit. If the PATH environment variable does not exist, click New. 4. In the Edit System Variable (or New System Variable) window, specify the value of the PATH environment variable. Click OK. Close all remaining windows by clicking OK. – Shlok Nangia Mar 09 '20 at 06:39

Better install the Angular CLI again. There might be some cache issues. Before installing make sure to clean the cache.

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

did this but same problem again – crazy Feb 11 '20 at 09:44
Delete the node_modules folder then run npm install & npm update – Ahamed Safnaj Feb 11 '20 at 09:48
If the solution in the above comment doen't worked too, just run ng serve command without --open. – Ahamed Safnaj Feb 11 '20 at 09:51
If you tried our the solutions, then the problem should be in the environment variable. You can check the other answer. If that works i'll delete this. – Ahamed Safnaj Feb 11 '20 at 12:22
Then try to add system PATH variable – Ahamed Safnaj Feb 12 '20 at 05:16
