Of course you have to install them again as it has been already written above.
I would suggest you to complete the following steps in this particular order:
- Delete the
node_modules
folder underneath your project’s folder. - Find Node.js command prompt, right click on it and select Run as Administrator.
- Navigate inside your project’s folder and run
npm install
from there. - Observe if there are any NPM errors during the reinstall, i.e. lines starting with
npm ERR!
. - After the node modules are reinstalled try running
ionic serve
. - If it doesn’t work then check this SO answer or perform the
node-gyp
install for Win 10. - If you had to perform the step above then also reinstall
node-sass
.
If you get any errors while performing the steps above, could you share them here, and the output of ionic info
might be also helpful.
