ionic start myApp --v2

but now with the following error:

Installing npm packages (may take a minute or two)…

Something is broken with your npm.

I would advise you to uninstall everything (cordova, Ionic CLI, Node) and install nvm and then reinstall a node version you like, then install Cordova and Ionic in there. Your problem will be solved and you will be using current, supported versions of everything.

Hi,
I just do the following update:
sudo npm install npm@latest -g
sudo npm install -g cordova
sudo npm install -g ionic

Everything is okay now, thank you.

Anybody else reading this, please follow @Sujan12’s advice about using nvm and not the previous post recommending running npm as root.

Sorry, just start learning Ionic, I will try do it all over again. Thanks for advice.

Hi,

After following what @Sujan12’s instruction, I am able to start new ionic project now.
But I got some error when I try to generate a keystore for Android.

keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-native-key.keystore -alias My-Native -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Illegal option:  RSA
keytool -genkeypair [OPTION]...
Generates a key pair

Obviously it has something to do with the option -keyalg, I can’t find solution at other places.
Does it has something to do with the nvm?
Please help.

Try to bind key tool inside the constructor. And don’t put it before any ugly bad declaration in the controller.
