Done everything as you said. When running npm install -g @angular/cli, it installs everything but
it shows error -bash: ng: command not found when running ng help.

Seems like a path issue, but it seems like you've found a workaround, closing.

Could someone please explain how to solve the path issue. Also, I seem to run into Path issue frequently - is there any recommendations on a solution to prevent the Path issue reoccurring?

This was a pain to figure out, so here is my solution

1. npm install -g @angular/cli

2. Make sure the ng path is correct

   • cd ~/npm-global/bin
   • ls and make sure ng exists

3. create .bashrc file on your home directory

   • touch ~/.bashrc
   • vim ~/.bashrc

4. Add ng as alias

   • press a (enables edit mode) then type in the following
   • alias ng="~/npm-global/bin/ng"
   • press esc (to get out of edit mode) then :wq (in vim will save)

5. Temporarily Update .bashrc reference
   Your terminal wont take bash updates until a restart but the following command will let you use the updates during the terminal session:

   • source ~/.bashrc

6. Check that ng works

   • ng --version

Hope that helps someone!

EDIT: To use this method you must be in a bash prompt or add the source ~/.bashrc to your terminal session. You can get into one by typing bash then enter in your terminal window. @shanemac10 's answer below will add it to your normal terminal by appending your mac PATH. (the one difference for me was my npm-global folder did not have a '.' in front of it)
