Having troubles with "$ sudo ionic emulate ios", doesnt work?

After typing “$ sudo ionic emulate ios” something seems to go wrong, have tried to change the permissions on the project folder, and uninstalling and installing ios-sim.

I get this at the end after typing $ sudo ionic emulate ios:

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **
