ionic is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

Question

I have tried to install ionic framework. I was done with my first step by executing the command (installed node.js).

First command: npm install -g cordova ionic

But the second command is not executing instead stating"ionic is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file "

Second command:ionic start myApp tabs

I request to help me out

I'm using windows 10 for developing, I solved it by adding the npm global packages folder:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm

to the environment variable Path

This worked for me because i moved my appdata from the C:\ drive to another drive. I added %APPDATA%\npm to the Path variable, and that fixed it – stefan Nov 16 '20 at 09:51

I assume you are trying to install ionic in windows. I think you could try to install it alone, without cordova, and then try it again.

npm install -g ionic

Hello Pablo Thanks... It doesn't work too and I am working on windows – Surendra Babu Gurram Apr 08 '16 at 16:12
probably you may add the path of the ionic installation directory to the PATH environment of windows in order to be available to use it. I never have used ionic on windows, sorry if this is not useful. – Pablo Máximo Apr 08 '16 at 16:20
