ng: command not found on Mac

[gellban]

if you type:
npm install -g @angular/cli
ng new
you will get the error:
ng: command not found
because you do not have access to the global directory of npm

solution:
just use sudo
sudo npm install -g @angular/cli
ng new

Imo you should close this yourself not an issue

Hi gellban,

I'm trying this: sudo npm install -g @angular/cli but it's taking so much of time to install.
is that normal?

Thanks,
Suprada

Hi eddie: thanks for the tip. It worked.
As I didn't had permissions to /usr/local/bin/, /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/share when I ran command: sudo npm install -g @angular/cli, it was continuously running in loop. it's fixed now after granting access to those files.
@GabAllan: thanks quick reply :)

I am happy that I find something to help ppl.

This is an issue related to npm, not the CLI itself. Closing this issue.

I'm having the same issue. I used sudo and still getting "command not found". I'm using MacOS 10.13.4, and the npm version is 5.5.1. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Felicity05,
I solved this issue last year. So, my npm, Node.js, ng were very old. Therefore, I upgraded the npm, Node.js. I uninstalled ng and reinstalled it with latest version. It worked successfully. The followings are my steps:

1-upgrade npm:
npm install -g npm@latest

2- uninstall angular
sudo npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
3-install angular
sudo npm install -g @angular/cli

4-upgrade node:
a. (force) clear you npm cache
sudo npm cache clean -f
b.(this might take a while)
sudo npm install -g n install "n"
c.upgrade to lastest version
sudo n stable

5-create a new angular project
ng new test12345

Note:
npm -version
6.4.1

node -v
v10.10.0

ng -v
Angular CLI: 6.2.2
