'Angular CLI ng command not found on Mac Os
I looked at the numerous posts on here regarding this issue and tried them but had no success resolving this.
I am on MacOS and here is what I have done so far based on recommendations I have found here but I still get this error
~~ sudo npm uninstall -g angular-cli
~~ sudo npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
~~ sudo npm cache clean --force
~~ sudo npm install -g @angular/cli
This outputs:
/usr/local/Cellar/node/11.10.0/bin/ng -> /usr/local/Cellar/node/11.10.0/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng
> @angular/[email protected] postinstall /usr/local/Cellar/node/11.10.0/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli
> node ./bin/postinstall/script.js
+ @angular/[email protected]
added 245 packages from 185 contributors in 8.784s
However, issuing command below does not work:
~~ ng version
-bash: ng: command not found
Some people suggesting linking so I tried that as well:
~~ sudo npm link @angular/cli
, which outputs following:
/Users/dinob/node_modules/@angular/cli -> /usr/local/Cellar/node/11.10.0/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli
, but ng version is still not working:
~~ ng version
-bash: ng: command not found
Many posts suggest that there should be a directory .npm-global created under my /Users/dinob directory but I dont see it. I aonly see .npm directory, not .npm-global.
I also tried following:
uninstall angular as described above
brew update
brew upgrade node // this upgraded from 11.10.0 to 12.10.0
then repeat steps above to install angular/cli
still same problem, ng command not found
This is not a duplicate question as KenWhite suggests and I have reviewed all the posts on SO I could find (and more) regarding this issue, tried them and none of them solved the issue for me.
sudo npm install -g @angular/cli command completed and returned following paths but none of them @angular directory in them:
/usr/local/Cellar/node/11.10.0/bin/ng -> /usr/local/Cellar/node/11.10.0/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng
Above, there is no bin folder:
dinob @ /usr/local/Cellar/node/11.10.0

Solution 1:[1]
If all the above methods doesn't work, then install angular-cli with Homebrew.
Run this in your Terminal (ZSH):
brew install angular-cli
Have a coffee, comeback and run this to test.
ng --version
Bingo.

The best solution is
alias ng="/Users/YourName/.npm-global/bin/ng"
Solution 3:[3]
Environment variable for "ng" may not be created. We can create it manually using the following steps:
Check if "ng" alias is present by opening your bash profile
touch ~/.bash_profile; open ~/.bash_profile
If there is no alias for "ng" found, Add the following alias in the bash file and save it
alias ng=/usr/local/Cellar/node/13.5.0/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng
Note: @angular/cli was installed under the following path for me /usr/local/Cellar/node/13.5.0/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli. So I have added ng which is present under angular cli to the alias.
Now, check the ng version using
ng --version
This worked for me.

I had the same problem, but the solution was to just add to my $PATH.
On MacOS Mojave with zsh, @Angular/CLI was not getting added to $PATH. You can add it to your path just by appending to /private/etc/paths:
sudo vim /private/etc/paths- append
/Users/my_user_name/node_modules/@angular/cli/binor wherever you installed @Angular/CLI. - save (
:wq) and restart shell.
ng version then works.

My terminal display zsh: command not found: ng ,in visconde terminal not found command ng and not Mac terminal, I saw that in bashrc there was a line with the export of the ng command, so I copied the export that was inside bash and pasted it into ˜/.zshrc and now it works!
Solution 6:[6]
This is what worked for me, to fix this error
~ ng --version
zsh: command not found: ng
fix:
export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"
