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

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 npm ERR!

If you try [searching the forums for “enoent rename”](https://forum.ionicframework.com/search?q=enoent%20rename), 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. ---

> [@Thurappan](#): > > sudo npm cache clean -f 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 ? ---
