Couldn't find ionic.config.json file. Are you in an Ionic project?

I am new to Ionic and trying to run ionic serve to test my application but I keep getting this error:

Couldn't find ionic.config.json file. Are you in an Ionic project? 

On running ionic info, I get the following:

 $ ionic info ******************************************************  Dependency warning - for the CLI to run correctly,  it is highly recommended to install/upgrade the following:   Please update your Cordova CLI to version  >=4.2.0 `npm install -g cordova`  ******************************************************  Your system information:  Cordova CLI: undefined Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.1 Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.7 OS: Windows 7 Node Version: v4.4.5 

Tried it with Couldn't find ionic.config.json file but couldn't resolve the issue.

I am also getting this trace while creating an application with ionic start myApp tabs:

I think your first machine have ionic version < 2.0.0, the other one >= 2.0.0

If you found file named ionic.project rename it to ionic.config.json

Hope this will help you.

After creating your new project, you need to step into the projects folder, in there you will find the config file and you can run ionic serve.

$ ionic start myApp tabs $ cd myApp $ ionic serve 

Be sure that you are running last version of ionic and cordova.

install ionic using.

npm install -g ionic@latest

or

refer link : http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/installation.html

As per logs you are getting Cordova CLI: undefined. Seems like an issue with CLI installation. Try reinstalling and that should solve your problem.

I would suggest you to start the fresh installation. And remove existing cordova and ionic

install cordova & ionic with npm install -g cordova ionic

Then install the template ionic start --v2 myApp tabs Check out this link https://ionicframework.com/getting-started/
