Ionic CLI not respecting --v2 tag

Question

I'm a long time Ionic user and set out to start my first Ionic 2 app. The docs say that this will work:

$ npm install -g ionic@beta
$ ionic -v => 1.7.10
$ ionic start newApp --v2

But when I run it my newApp is v1? I am running Node 4.1.

Answer 1

OP just needed to close the terminal and open it again.

Answer 2

Thanks @mhartington - needed to close and reopen my terminal!
