@Cptmorgan27 it looks like the node binaries are not in your path. Can you paste the output of echo $PATH and npm install -g @angular/cli ?

[Cptmorgan27]

echo $PATH : /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

npm install -g @angular/cli:
/usr/local/Cellar/node/6.5.0/libexec/npm/bin/ng -> /usr/local/Cellar/node/6.5.0/libexec/npm/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng

So it looks like your global node binaries get installed in /usr/local/Cellar/node/6.5.0/libexec/npm/bin, but it's not in your path.

To fix this you can add this line to the file .bashrc in your home dir.

export PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/node/6.5.0/libexec/npm/bin:$PATH"

After adding this and opening a new terminal window, your globally installed npm binaries should work.

@beeman Thanks!! didn't have a .bashrc but had .bash_profile. Now, everything is working.
