Adding ionic cli to existing ionic project

Install nodejs if you haven't - https://nodejs.org

Now, once you installed node, you need to install cordova and ionic globally by using this command

$ npm install -g cordova ionic

Note: If you are using MAC you need to use sudo for admin rights

Once everything is loaded, you can start a project using:

$ ionic start myApp bank - starts from a blank project

or

$ ionic start myApp tabs - starts a tabs template

You can look for more templates at http://ionicframework.com/getting-started/

For existing Projects:

cd to your existing project (make sure you already installed node, cordova and ionic)

Type in $ ionic serve that will run your app to the browser.
