I created a new super starter project (ionic start myapp super --v2).

When I run the project with ionic serve, it shows the following error:

Runtime Error  
Cannot find module “ionic-native”

Ionic Framework: 3.0.1

Angular Compiler CLI: 4.0.0

I tried installing the native core as suggested in another post.  
npm install @ionic-native/core --save

Still getting the same error.

Try a `npm install` on the root of the project.

The ionic2 super starter is broken at the moment.

There are multiple Pull Requests trying to fix this on GitHub, but none was accepted yet. For example this one: [https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-starter-super/pull/95](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-starter-super/pull/95)

Same problem here, though I am not using the super starter project. I just updated to 3.

Well, then you problem is nothing similar to what was posted before and this is not the right place to aks for help on this.

Please create a new topic, describe what you are doing and where exactly things are going wrong. Thanks.
