Hi Very hard to debug remotely. I would suggest trying the following if you do not already have a solution. 1. Make sure you are not installing the project on the root of your machine like your C drive on windows. 2. Uninstall the Angular CLI and reinstall in with npm uninstall @angular/cli Check your global version and npm packages in general to make sure nothing stale is installed with the command npm list -g --depth=0 3. Reinstall Angular CLI 4. Re make the angular project fro scratch in a new folder with ng new YOURAPPNAME

first thank you for taking the time to reply. I am checking in now the good thing is i have the current lts version of node im going to uninstall and update on progress

[@dredamonsta1]

Kinda fixed but I have to use my build at the moment. The issue might be due to older dependencies on my Mac so I am going delete everything and install again

I'm getting permission denial issues. Can you pls help.

[@akashpotdar6841]

Rohit Bhambhani yes. So the directory where npm is written is basically root, we need to change the owner to the preferred user.

what about: ng: command not found (Mac OS) ??

[@duncanhunter9025]

Vetr hard to debug with so little info I recommend trying stack overflow after doing a free install and removing any old versions

[@sajjanm01]

i reckon you havent installed nodejs. please do that first

[@krishnachaitanya7349]

ng -v -bash: ng: command not found Please help me in mac. I followed the video, but unable to solve this problem

[@duncanhunter9025]

hi I wish I could helo but debugging your machine from here is a little tricky. I recommend following these steps angular.io/cli Sounds like the npm install did not add the cli or your path was not correctly updated

[@jeffarnold96]

try ng --version
