📂 Check the npm Global Directory

Sometimes the CLI installs correctly, but your system's PATH doesn't include the npm global folder.

Check where npm installs global packages:

npm root -g

Example:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules

Check where npm puts the executable:

npm bin -g

Example:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\npm

Make sure this folder is in your system's PATH.
