ng is not recognized as valid command even after successful npm install

[indcoder]

Please provide us with the following information:

1. OS? Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). Mac OSX (Yosemite? El Capitan?)
   Windows 10

1. Versions. Please run ng --version. If there's nothing outputted, please
   run in a Terminal:
   node --version
   And paste the result here.
   v5.9.1

2. Repro steps. Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you
   do on your code? etc.
   'ng' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
   operable program or batch file.

3. The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some
   more information.
   Th angular cli version +-- angular-cli@1.0.0-beta.6

4. Mention any other details that might be useful.

   Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

I did the following:

1. Download https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.2.2/node-v6.2.2-x64.msi
2. Install
3. [Windows key], type "command prompt", right click "Run as Administrator"
4. npm install -g angular-cli

Open a termina. Run ng. Works

I'm running it on windows 10 as well, and didn't need to run it as an administrator.

@indcoder Can you give me the console log from when you did npm install -g angular-cli?

I still get the same problem

Hi @filipesilva

Thanks for looking into this.

I don't have the logs of the previous install but I ran the npm install again

C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\ng -> C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\angular-cli\bin\ng
 C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\npm
`-- angular-cli@1.0.0-beta.6

I think the ng bin is not getting added to the path

Hi @filipesilva Do you still need more info from my end?

I tried to install as an Administrator and I get this error.

Ok so I upgraded my node from 5.* to 6.2.2. Nuked the .npm and .npm-cache folders and then installed ng. It works correctly.

I think:

1. There is some incompatibility between node 4 or 5.
2. Multiple npm install of angular cli messed up the other npm modules.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Weird bug overall, am glad you got it to work.

The missing rsvp module is this issue: #1186, it should be fixed next beta.

Hi,
I'm facing the same issue with v4.5.0. I want to work on this stable version, is there any way to fix "ng not recognized" error in 4.5.0?

[filipesilva]

@sthallapelly if you get that message, it means that the npm install failed. Can you open a new issue with the log you get from running the command?
