Dear community, please help resolve this problem! Perhaps someone had something similar.

What kind of proxy configuration did you do? What is your `ionic info` output? ---

I did not make any adjustments. I just installed globally and wanted to launch the project just like other beginners, but others have no problems and I have something for some reason. ---

Can you try to run the `ionic start` in cmd or Powershell as well? ---

In cmd.exe run `SET` or `SET > envs.txt` - anything to do with `PROXY` in the list of variables? ---

> [@yura2305](#): > > http\_proxy=mylocal This seems like the culprit. Run `SET http_proxy=` to unset, check with `SET` again and then try the command one more time. ---

If this works, you have to make it permanent by editing the environment variables in the system settings of windows I think - I don’ think using `SET ...` is permanent. Check that. ---

It tells you everything in the screenshot. You are missing a package you need, you tell it not to install it, it crashes (because it needs the package). ---
