I am having this exact same issue. What happened? I didn’t touch any of the packages. I just want to create a new ionic project.

There are also other devs having the same issue

(Ionic Framework) Npm Error when creating starter super template

Error in setting up ionic project

Creating a new Ionic project through Ionic CLI suddenly started producing npm/git errors

[ralphskie]

I thought it was just my computer.

Updated all from git/node/npm and problem still exist.

[kocei]

Hello,
I had a similar issue, I was using the latest version of node and it didn’t work.
I recommand you to switch Node 6.11.0 if you have higher.
GL

[nyffellare]

Seems like a global problem. Multiple threads about it also on the gitpage.

[Dragon]

My node version is that version.

[gorgonwo]

I think the problem is with Open SSL:

openssl config failed: error:02001003:system library:fopen:No such process

This happen every time I install ionic.

@gorgonwo

openssl config failed: error:02001003

On Windows you can also set the environment property OPENSSL_CONF. For example from the commandline you can type:

set OPENSSL_CONF=c:/libs/openssl-0.9.8k/openssl.cnf

to validate it you can type:

echo %OPENSSL_CONF%

source: windows - OpenSSL and error in reading openssl.conf file - Stack Overflow

this can be the solution!

[gorgonwo]

Me too. I juts followed the instructions in the ionic page and downloaded the recomendable version of all programs. Later, I tried the latests versions and the problem still happening.

[Ucas_rajeshm]

Same problem on my machine. It was working fine yesterday. I have tried updating GIT, npm. Still the problem persist

Hi dudes I find a solution:

I have been working with Ionic since May with some build problems, but today when I tried to create a new starter project by:

ionic start myApp tabs

I just received:

[ERROR] An error occurred while running npm install (exit code 1):

    npm WARN deprecated object-keys@0.2.0: Please update to the latest object-keys
    npm ERR! code 128
    npm ERR! Command failed: C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.EXE submodule update -q --init --recursive
    npm ERR! fatal: 'submodule' appears to be a git command, but we were not
    npm ERR! able to execute it. Maybe git-submodule is broken?

I tried all (like some people there), to update the whole npm, npm gtit, git, ionic, cordova, etc… And also I tried to skip git with --git flag. But the one way to resolve the issue was the following sequence:

ionic start myApp [tabs/blank/menu] --skip-deps

and then

cd myApp

npm install

Windows10 64b
npm 5.0.3
ionic 3.4.0
Cordova 7.0.1

Good luck dudes.

[mosesmatt]

That did work for me as well

[gorgonwo]

that did work fine unitl the input npm install

Run your app in the browser (great for initial development):
  ionic serve

Run on a device or simulator:
  ionic cordova run ios

Test and share your app on a device with the Ionic View app:

You will need to login in order to link this app. Please run the following commands to do so.
  ionic login - login first
  ionic link - then link your app

Go to your newly created project: cd .\firstApp

[mhartington]

Hey yall we’re aware of the error and will be fixing this. Sorry for any issues!

[nyffellare]

Can we follow the progress of the fix somewhere or do you know a way to get around the error?

[jasmin_11]

You should configure your git globaly.

git config --global user.email "email@example.com"
git config --global user.name “Your Name”

This works for me.

[mosesmatt]

That did work for me, but still doesn’t explain why it worked for weeks before setting this

[stardigits]

The solution for me on Windows 8 by doing downgrade git to version 1.9.5.

I created an issue for this at `npm start` fails on Windows because of `bonjour@github:resin-io/bonjour` stuff · Issue #2477 · ionic-team/ionic-cli · GitHub now. Please add your error messages and reports if yours are similar but not identical.
