@GAJANANJADHAV Instead try to add this path as environment variable for ng - "C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Roaming\npm" — Srinivasan K K, Commented May 5, 2018 at 10:20

You need to add that installation in your environment variable of your system. Since, you are using windows go to your environment variable ,

From the desktop, right click the Computer icon.
Choose Properties from the context menu.
Click the Advanced system settings link.
Click Environment Variables. If the PATH environment variable does not exist, click New and create one
In the Edit Environment Variablewindow, specify the value of the PATH environment variable. Which should be C:\users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@angular\cli\bin
Click OK. Close all remaining windows by clicking OK.
Reopen Command prompt window, and run ng new MyApp. It should work now.

Many of us has face this error, while working with angular in windows system. So to solve this error just in command prompt/Power shell, u have to install the lower version of angular or the same version of angular as that of ur project of angular version.

You have to run command npm i @angular/cli at C:\Users\Dell\AppData\roaming\npm> at this file path and all the error of ng will resolved
