I faced the same issue. I am a windows 10 user and what i did is add environment variable C:\Users{user}\AppData\Roaming\npm in system variable PATH. It worked for me.

Hi,

Looks like you are using Windows, make sure you added your npm global modules to your PATH variable.

Plus, which npm version are you using? I think there’s some kind of bugs with version 5.2.0, so in case you are using that one, you should upgrade to 5.3.0 or even downgrade to latest v4.

Although with that error message I’d go with the PATH issue.

Hope it helps!
