Where is the angular-cli package directory?

I'm trying to create a new Angular CLI project stub as instructed in the IntelliJ docs here Generating an Angular application stub using Angular CLI. One of the mandatory fields asks for the Angular CLI package directory.

I have no idea what this is or where to find this.

I work on windows, find all the modules installed globally by npm at: 

> c:/users/<user-name>/appData/roaming/npm
> c:/users/<user-name>/appData/roaming/npm-cache

To Be exact for angular-cli:

> c:/users/<user-name>/appData/roaming/npm-cache/@angular/cli

Angular CLI field value should be something similar to: C:\Users[user name here]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@angular\cli as @lena mentioned

The problem: I had an old version of angular-cli installed. Even though I followed the Intellij docs for creating an Angular stub project, and installed the new @angular/cli via npm install, the new cli directory was not present.

The solution: I followed the instruction from updating-angular-cli and this installed the updated @angular\cli directory which then allowed Intellij IDEA to correctly build the Angular module. You have to uninstall old versions before installing the new cli. I was then able to point the Angular CLI field to the above path and the module generated correctly.

As it's written in https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2017.1/using-angular.html#d461255e133, you need to install angular-cli module first: npm install -g @angular/cli.

Once the package is installed, specify a path to it in Angular CLI field. In your environment, it should be smth like C:\Users\andyrh3\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@angular\cli
