no permissions to run that command?
use:
sudo …

or like you use sudo control your permissions

This can happen if you ran part of the install with sudo (i.e. npm) which you have to do on OS X. You need to do sudo chown -R username * to change some of the files ownership from root to yourself.

Just encountered the same issue, and I don’t think it has anything to do with sudo - that command is simply missing the execute permission

chmod +x hooks/after_prepare/010_add_platform_class.js

Now its working thanks.

then after should i execute all the the action in root ?

than i was done this sudo chown -R username .config/

I’m not using sudo at all and everything works fine for me after fixing the execute permission with chmod.

This is the correct fix, I think however the ionic build should set this perm correctly on project setup.

Indeed, looks like it’s this issue that should be fixed in the next release: ionic-cli #375

nice fix! ^^ that works!

Yep, that’s the fix.

Hi Kevin Yang, Spurlex (I’m testing the Android App, where i got the below error…)
– I tried chmod -R 777 * but not fixed the issue
– Also tried “ionic hooks add” command but shown the error on terminal like
"ravis-MacBook-Pro:~ monocept$ ionic hooks add
-bash: ionic: command not found"

======================

i'm using APPIUM 1.4.8 and still the error like below when running the script with ANDROID app with MAC OS X(10.11 version) please check the brief and detailed error and help me out.

how to use the ionic hooks add command , when i ran the command in terminal saying ionic command not found......

Well, the solution that works for me is :

  1. go to your project folder, right click and get Info ( be sure to aply read & write to all the folders/sub folders )
  2. try to build/run again, if you get the error of spawn EACCESS do step 3
  3. sudo ionic hooks add and that should solve the issue.

can anyone help me? I’m done with my app but cannot add andriod platform
I’m getting that error when running ionic platform add android

/hooks/before_platform_add/init_directories.js Error: spawn EACCES

I followed everything I can search in google for the whole day but still no luck
I already tried “ionic hoooks add” “ionic platform rm android” “ionic platform add android” “sudo
chmod -R a+rwx /appfolder” and others
I also updated everything ionic cordova via npm update

I was facing similar issue running ionic build… Here is the error i see in console
_Running command: …/hooks/after_prepare/010_add_platform_class.js _
Error: spawn EACCES

Solution : running this command chmod +x ~/Documents/…/hooks/after_prepare/010_add_platform_class.js fixed
