Not able to install @angular/cli

Question

I am getting errors while installing anuglar cli. I am working on the system which I don't have admin rights to. So, I followed below link to install node & npm & correct node & npm version is displayed in command prompt.

Install NodeJS & NPM without admin access

This is the error I am getting while installing angular cli. I have tried many options from previous SO answers but nothing worked. I have given explicit full control to the myself on C:\NodeJS\NodeJS folder. What are the options now?

Did you have any cli instance running? try taskkill /t /f /im node.exe install, or restart your PC, try to uninstall and reinstall. — Al-Mothafar

I tried to restart my PC every time I set the environment variable. Today also, I restarted my PC & first thing tried the angular cli install command. Still I got the same error & I haven't installed nodejs. Since I don't have admin rights, I have downloaded binaries. — Jay

You could try installing Angular CLI to a different location where you have access rights and set the PATH similar to NodeJS. — Barremian

One workaround would be to switch to a directory you have rights to and run the installation command without the -g flag.

C:\Users\user>cd C:\npm-global
C:\npm-global>npm cache clean --force
C:\npm-global>npm install @angular/cli

And add the bin folder of node_modules to the user environment variable PATH.
