case-study : Installed angular-cli globally using (npm install -g angular-cli) but when trying to create project using ng new my-project it is throwing error:

ng: command not found

The issue is simple, npm doesn’t know about ng

Just run npm link @angular/cli and it should work seamlessly.

otherwise: we will have to rearrange (manualy) the PATHS to:

• NPM
• Nodejs
• Angular CLI

In System Environment Variables, the picture below shows the arrangement.

Then restart your system, and try the command again. It should work fine now 🙂
