Ionic - CLI CLI not installed

Question

Ionic-related - I seem to be unable to run any of my applications on IOS or Android Simulator, since the Cordova CLI will not be installed.

I think that after reading this, it is related to my update of Node.JS and / or NPM. But the information on this is not final. I was on it for several days and received nothing. I tried all the suggestions. Uninstalling, deleting hidden files, installing different stable versions, clearing the cache. Nothing worked.

My data when entering ionic information

Cordova CLI: Not installed Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.12 Ionic App Lib Version: 0.6.5 ios-deploy version: Not installed ios-sim version:Not installed OS: Mac OS X El Capitan Node Version: v4.2.3 Xcode version: Xcode 7.2 Build version 7C68 

When I install cordova sudo npm install -g cordova . This does not solve the above problem. It still remains uninstalled.

I used this link below to try a blank sheet without any node.js file on my system.

How to completely remove Node.js and reinstall from the very beginning (Mac OS X)

Still can't solve the problem.

Please help.

Answer 1

To install Cordoba, run the command

 npm install -g cordova 

If you have already installed Cordoba or, in your case, according to your own answer, you have installed version 4 running npm install -g cordova@4 (the latest version is 5.x), you can update Cordoba to get the latest version:

 sudo npm update -g cordova 

Answer 2

I solved the problem by entering the following into the terminal:

 npm install -g cordova@4 

Answer 3

Where did you install the global CLI cordova ? To check, you can send this command to the terminal which cordova . it should return the path where cordova cli is located. If not, you will need to add a global NPM path to your shell.

Answer 4

try:

 sudo npm install -g cordova@4 

I had the same problem and it worked!

Answer 5
