Ionic framework - 'ionic' is not recognized as an internal or external command

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I was trying to install ionic and create a sample project on it since morning. But, was facing a series of issues since then. Tried solving them one by one. Atlast restarted my machine and opened command prompt to build the sample project and tried

path of the sample project> ionic build android

But, i kept on facing the error that states 'ionic' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

I tried clearing the cache and reinstalling ionic in my machine. Still, I face the same issue of ionic is not recognized as an internal or external command.

Can somebody help me out on this issue?

Thanks Manikandan J

Try to install the ionic framework with the -g parameter, so the installation will be globall, like this:

npm install -g ionic

-g parameter mean "its binaries end up in your PATH environment variable."
