I just clone an Ionic project to my pc, as .gitignore was used there was no node_modules installed in the directive ...So when I typed in ionic serve in the CLI it was giving this error

? Looks like a fresh checkout! No ./node_modules directory found. Would you like to install project dependencies? Yes Installing dependencies may take several minutes!

npm i × Running command - failed! [ERROR] An error occurred while running npm i (exit code 1):

    npm ERR! code 1

what ca I do to resolve this?

Which file system are you using ? Do you happen to be using bash on windows ? Did you run npm install -g ionic cordova ? If thats where you are failing, please run whichever terminal you are using as administrator or the npm i as root.

That should fix your issue.

  • yeah I'm using bash on windows and I have run the `npm install -g ionic cordova` . I created new projects in Ionic and those perfectly run on my browser when i run `ionic serve` – vamshi malreddy Jun 28 '18 at 16:05
  • how to run it with `npm i` as root ?? i didn't get it – vamshi malreddy Jun 28 '18 at 16:08
  • To use `npm install` as root first you need to open windows bash as Administrator. This should download all the dependencies of your proyect. – Azac Jun 28 '18 at 22:07
