Issue running Ionic commands in PowerShell

Question

When I try to run an ionic command in PowerShell I get an error that says

ionic : The term 'ionic' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1 + ionic + ~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (ionic:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Do I need to add a path variable to my environment variables?

I have installed node.js successfully and I believe have successfully installed Ionic and Cordova as well with the command "npm install -g ionic cordova"

The output from the "npm install -g ionic" is below

I figured out my mistake. I was missing a path variable to system32. Thanks for the help!
