Can't create a new ionic project

When i use the ionic start command, i get this error:
Error: read ECONNRESET
at TCP.onStreamRead (node:internal/stream_base_commons:218:20) {
errno: -4077,
code: ‘ECONNRESET’,
syscall: ‘read’,
response: undefined
}
After the error, the terminal starts an infinite loop saying all the time “downloading and extracting sidemenu starter” (i tried different frameworks and different starter projects).
This never happened to me, i tried uninstalling ionic, changing node version, clearing npm cache, etc. But nothing seems to fix it

Which OS are you running?

Make sure you don’t have a firewall that is blocking the connection.

I just tried ionic start, no to app creation wizard, react app on macOS and everything downloaded correctly, although it did take a couple minutes.

Ty for the answer. I’m on windows and i tried to completely disable the firewall, but i still get the error. I also tried with app creation wizard and nothing, i really really don’t know what is causing this error.
I was wondering if this was happening with other frameworks, but i tried to create a project with just angular and it works good.

Are you using node on Windows directly or through something like WSL? I have used Ionic on WSL and it works quite well, the same as linux (well, I guess technically it is linux, so that would be why :slight_smile: and macOS.

If you’re reasonably comfortable with the CLI, I highly recommend running on WSL.
