I am trying to run Ionic Serve through command prompt and have done the following steps:

The error I got was "Ionic not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

In other SO posts, a user suggested the following.

First check: npm config get prefix

In my case It wasn't set to /usr/local but in /usr/Roaming

So to fix it, use: npm config set prefix

But this did not work for me, perhaps, I was in the wrong directory.

Can anyone suggest how to get the command Ionic Serve to work?

I tried doing exactly the same steps in Git Shell. Same error: The term "ionic" is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script, file, or operable program. – Dean P Oct 06 '16 at 14:15
You have to add global node_modules to PATH – e666 Oct 06 '16 at 15:06
