♬ ♫ ♬ ♫  Your Ionic app is ready to go! ♬ ♫ ♬ ♫

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:
  http://view.ionic.io

? Link this app to your Ionic Dashboard to use tools like Ionic View? Yes

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 ./blank

if i want to start a older Projekt (ionic 2) this happens:

C:\Users\figueirog\Documents\tmp\opess2>cd ..

C:\Users\figueirog\Documents\tmp>cd opess

C:\Users\figueirog\Documents\tmp\opess>ionic serve

Well, this is a bit confusing.

So /opess2 is an existing Ionic project that you want to ionic serveand this doesn’t work? (start typically refers to creating a new project…)

What is ionic info in /opess2? package.json?

Sorry for the confusion … XD

but you gave me the right hint…

It was the package.json… i update the packages and now it works…

i also find this https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues/2242

Thank you verry mutch!
