I'm an absolute novice in Ionic, Cordova and Node.js.

I have the following problem with Node.js:

I got a project from a colleague created with ionic and cordova. The app itself is also running, for a special customer, we have adapted the design. My thought was that it was done quickly. I changed my branch in GIT to the corresponding project and wanted to do it. Unfortunately, I get countless error messages and warnings that I did not have in the previous project.

I uninstalled Node.js and reinstalled it completely, unfortunately nothing has changed. I can not uninstall or install any of the packages. I always get this eternally long error message and I do not know exactly what the problem is. Uninstalling Ionic and cordova does not work either, same error message. Below is a listing of my version of Node.js, Ionic and cordova and the beginning and end of the error message.

Can someone explain this error message to me?

There are a couple of things you can do in order to setup the project correctly.

  1. Check if node, ionic and cordova are properly installed.

  2. Completely delete the node modules folder and then run the following command:-

    npm install

This would install all the dependencies in the project.

  1. If above doesnot work then you can try, same step mentioned by Ashok to resolve:-

    npm install @ionic/app-scripts@latest --save-dev

Please let me know if you have any questions.
