Answer 1

The most likely cause is that the global modules installation directory is not in your path. As a quick workaround, you can run it like this:

`npm root -g`/ganache-cli/cli.js

A better idea (aside from fixing your PATH!) would be to install it as a dev dependency in the project that needs it (so npm install -D instead of npm install -g) and then run it with npx (so npx ganache-cli rather than ganache-cli).
