Ionic wont start after npm install ionic

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

Im on osx. I had a development with node, npm and ionic. Everything worked. I accidentally run this command:

npm install -g ionic

After that Ionic is not working anymore. if I try to create a project or start an existing one I got this error:

Caught exception:
Error: Cannot find module 'inherits'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:455:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:403:25)

Mind letting us know? https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues

npm -v gives:

3.10.8

node -v gives:

v6.4.0

ionic -v gives the same error message as above. Im not sure if I installed node/npm with brew or what else. Any ideas?

2.npm install -g ionic cordova

3.npm update minimatch

4.try reinstalling ionic using ionic@latest
