Angular 5 cli not working after being installed globally

I am using Node 8.9.3 and npm 5.5.1 and I have installed Angular latest version with this command:

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

Then, I set the path in the environment variable as

PATH C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@angular\cli\bin

Finally I run

ng --version

which results the following error:

'ng' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Please help me in fixing this error.

WHy would you change your path ? I've never had have to do that ... - user4676340
@trichetriche it is a suggestion given by somebody. without doing that also same issue happens. - Sta-Dev
Probably not given by the Angular team though. - user4676340
@trichetriche have followed everything given in angular docs. Having the latest version of node and npm. Still the same. - Sta-Dev
I just checked (to be sure), I have no reference to the CLI in my path. Remove it and see how it goes. - user4676340

Just add %AppData%\npm; to the user PATH variable to fix it. (%AppData% maps to the appropriate dir for the user)

You will need to log out, and then log back in for the change to your PATH variable to take effect.
