The term ‘ng’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Today, while working through some basic AngularJS Intro, I ran into a problem.

I opened PowerShell to get going on the project. NPM worked.

I was able to install the Angular using:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Anytime I tried to run ng, I would get:

      The first path in the path variable needs to be the NPM path. Opening the Node.js command prompt I found that the ng command worked there. I dug into the shortcut and found that it references a command to ensure the first Path variable is NPM.
      To Fix:

      1. Right Clicked on My Computer (windows)
      2. Selected Advanced System Settings
      3. Clicked “Environment Variables”
      4. Under “Path” variable, made the FIRST value listed %AppData%\npm

      Once I did that I was able to close powershell and reopen and all worked.
