I am new to npm and node, i am learning angular.

In an angular cli project, whenever i run ng <<'keyword'>> command, i am getting below error as its unable to find global npm-modules folder.

node_modules appears empty, you may need to run npm install

Tried following configuration but no luck, i have to run npm install in every project to overcome the problem.

export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/node
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/npm

Is there way that i can avoid running npm install for every project?

i got the same error when I tried to run ng serve command after running ng new myapp and creating my project folder. This error occured because I didn't move in to the myapp folder I created. Once I used the cd myapp command and moved in to the folder ng serve worked successfully.
