How did you install ionic-cli in the first place? Is it installed globally by using npm install -g ionic-cli ?

I’m not sure from the top of my head if the install package is called ionic or ionic-cli but my point is the global flag -g

HI

I install this way

npm install -g ionic

I know from my first experience when trying to install something from terminal on a mac that you always need to include sudo before you run npm.

sudo npm install -g ionic

You should be prompted to type your password then hit enter and it should install.

If you’re still sudo installing npms you should upgrade to the latest version of Node.js (which also installs npm) - it no longer requires sudo to install packages.

@jorge - you may have installed ionic to a particular directory and not globally (the -g flag) so it’s not available anywhere.

Try this:

$ npm cache clear
$ npm uninstall ionic
$ npm install ionic -g

Then the Ionic CLI should work for you anywhere.
