npm install -g ionic@beta
Make sure you have NodeJS installed. Download the installer here or use your favorite package manager. It’s best to get the 5x version of node along with the 3x version of npm. This offers the best in stability and speed for building.
Once that’s done, create your first Ionic app:
ionic start cutePuppyPics --v2
To run your app, cd into the directory that was created and then run the ionic serve command:
$ cd cutePuppyPics
$ ionic serve
You can play with it right in the browser!
Building to a Device
After you have Ionic installed, you can build your app to a physical device. If you don’t have a physical device on hand, you can still build to a device emulator. Check out the iOS simulator docs if you are on a Mac, or the Genymotion docs if you are looking to emulate an Android device. You will also need Cordova to run your app on a native device. To install Cordova, run:
$ sudo npm install -g cordova
Building for Android
To build for Android, you’ll need to add the Android platform module to Cordova:
$ ionic platform add android
Next, you’ll need to install the Android SDK. The Android SDK allows you to build compile to a target device running Android. Although the Android SDK comes with a stock emulator, Genymotion is recommended, since it’s much faster. Once installed, start an Android image and run:
$ ionic run android
