Angular : ng build fails but npm run build works fine

Inside my Angular 5 app , i ve angular-cli 1.6.8

    "ts-node": "~2.0.0",
    "tslint": "~4.5.0",
    "typescript": "2.6.2"
  },
}

when running ng --version or ng build inside my app folder , it fails saying that : bash: ng: command not found -> in contrats running npm run build runs normally

i ve node 8.0.0 and npm 4.2.2 installed globally , buti ve not angular-cli installed globally , and i don't want to install it. therfore i think that i may use ng commands inside my app (locally) , no ?

if not how may i do it without installing it globally via npm install -g @angular/cli (as i m not allowed to run global npm install actions)

Sugesstions?

If you want to use ng command as well other commands, you need to install them globally. You can't run local commands because NodeJS does not find them.
