Try updating your node install first, then reinstall Ionic. Warnings can usually be ignored.

Thanks @ChrisGriiffith . Can you please share the commands to

  1. Update Node ( mine showed something like v 6.5.2 )

  2. Uninstall Ionic

  3. Reinstall ionic

Thanks @dtgfranca . I already a working version of Ionic 1 CLI. I hope these commands go hand in hand with it.

UPDATE: I just got this error

$ npm install -g codova

If you try searching the forums for ā€œenoent renameā€, I bet you will find many threads that tell you specifically what to do.

Using these commands in succession helped solve the install issue.

npm uninstall -g ionic

sudo npm cache clean -f

But, when I cd into the folder and try ionic serve , I get the following error

$ ionic serve
WARN: No node_modules directory found, do you need to run npm install?

Update : It got fixed by itself.

Facing similar issue. do we have to remove the ionic completely and re-install it again, because its a waste of time. Can anyone share details why we get such issues ?

Thatā€™s what worked for me.
