I'm trying to setup Angular 2 using "npm install @angular/cli -g "
After the install, the only warning I see is the UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY rxjs@^5.0.1, which I then install and reinstall "npm install @angular/cli -g"
No matter what I do, or what version of Node I setup with n, I keep getting the following message when trying to user the "ng" commands:
zsh: command not found: ng
I've been looking around and have not found a solution for this.
Has anyone run into this and have any suggestions?
UPDATE:
It looks like this is not a angular/cli specific issue.
I now see that I get the same message when I try to run "Grunt" and "Ionic" commands on an existing project that was working fine.
zsh: command not found: ionic zsh: command not found: grunt
Most likely, the directory in which the global modules are installed is not in your $PATH
-- and therefore unknown to your shell.
To fix this issue, we can create a new directory for global node_modules, configure npm
to use it, and add that directory to your $PATH
.
# create a new directory where npm will install packages
$ mkdir ~/.node_modules
# set npm "prefix" config to that directory
$ npm config set prefix '~/.node_modules'
# append a line to your .zshrc instructing it to include that directory in your $PATH, making the executables known to the shell
$ echo 'export PATH=~/.node_modules/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc
# update current shell with new path (not needed for new sessions)
$ source ~/.zshrc
Then, first reinstall the latest npm (npm i -g npm
), followed by the global packages you need (npm i -g @angular/cli
).
