I just created a new project using the blank template. The HTML references lib/ionic/css/ionic.css and css/style.css which are both missing. This is missing as well: lib/ionic/js/ionic.bundle.js ---

Already being discussed in the beta announcement thread. Myself and a few others are having the same problem. Looks like the team is working on it. ---

Ok thanks - didn’t see a thread that seemed similar - but now - of course - I do. 😉 ---

Okay, taking a look right now. Sorry about this! Do you have bower installed? It should have come with it, but could you try doing this and seeing if it works for you: `$ sudo npm install -g bower` Then trying to start a new blank project? Looking into it… ---

Okay, I made some changes. Can you try updating the ionic utility and creating a new project and letting me know if it’s working for you now? `sudo npm install -g ionic` I got rid of the dependency on bower and gulp for the basic use case. Thanks! ---

@raymondcamden w00t!! Yea, discourse is finicky 🙂 @MeiganFang that is just a placeholder. Feel free to add that file and add your own custom CSS. I am going to just inject an empty one since everyone is freaking out about that 😄 ---
