did you npm install -g ganache-cli?

I've encountered same issue after installing ganache-cli with npm on Debian 9 x86_64.

[Update] Solved the issue by using sudo when installing the package.

To fix this problem make sure that

1. You've installed ganache-cli globally by doing npm install -g
2. Your npm global bin directory is in your PATH. You can find your npm global bin directory by running npm bin -g

For item 2, copy and paste this one-liner and it'll tell you whether or not you're in good shape:

echo $PATH | grep -q "$(npm bin -g)" && echo "Your PATH is set up correctly." || echo "You need to add '$(npm bin -g)' to your path variable."

sudo su
