Hello !
I’m new with ionic and I struggling to start a new app using sudo ionic start --pro-id xxxxxxxxx

The error is :

npm -v is 5.5.1
node -v is v8.9.0

and ionic -v oddly returns

ionic -v
3.16.0

Thank you for your concerns.

Don’t use sudo. If you do, you could install mistakes that are very hard to remove. Maybe this has already happened.

Use ionic info to get system data, not ionic -v. Your ionic cli version is 3.16. Your ionic-angular version is different.

Thank you for your answer. Maybe thats what happened… :sweat: I’ll keep that in mind.

ionic info is

        FILE_NOT_FOUND

So ionic angular version is different. Not sure if they supposed to be the same.

There are a lot of moving parts. You need:

Not Ionic: NodeJS, npm, Cordova, Angular
Ionic: ionic-angular, ionic-cli, ionic-app-scripts, ionic-native (optional-ish)

I haven’t tried to start by installing pro, so maybe things are different there and this advice isn’t on point. But in general the conventional wisdom on this forum is: Install nvm (node version manager), use nvm to install NodeJS and npm (8.9.0 is 100% what you want, that part looks great), then inside that node environment run npm install -g ionic cordova.

Ok. I take it from here and will work on it on my own. Thank you for your answers.

I have the exact same problem as you. Ugh. Not sure how to fix this.
I tried totally uninstalling Node/NPM/Cordova/Ionic …and reinstalling. No luck.

The problem persists. Very frustrating.
