Sometime your npm doesn't installed in the correct path in Ubuntu/mac which leads to improper installation of ionic. Try to reinstall all the things like node, npm, cordova and ionic. This might solve the problem

Try ionic -v for checking if ionic is installed or not.

for latest version of ionic i,e 2.1.17 you must have npm of version 3.10.9 and node of version v7.2.0 and above. To check the version use command node -v and npm -v and ionic -v. Even having older version of ionic even when it is updated also causes this problem.

You need to make sure you are in the project folder. After installing ionic through the CLI (example ionic start your-app-name tabs) run ionic serve and ionic setup sass if you are planning to use sass. But most of the times it's because you are running ionic serve outside of the project folder.

This is quite unusual!!

It might be worth making sure that the prerequisites are installed correctly. Can you try the following: 

node --version
npm --version
cordova --version

finally, if npm and cordova are in

ionic --version

I've seen odd things in ionic when using node 5 instead of node 4. You may want to try switching to node 4.

You need to find your node.js command prompt to execute ionic commands.

  1. Go to your node.js directory, if you are not able to fine, search for "Node.js command prompt"
  2. Open it and type "ionic -v"

You should be able to see ionic CLI version.

I think you need to type "ionic serve" not "ionic" to run on the browser.
