Ionic-cli: I can not create a Ionic V1 project

[onigetoc]

I have the Ionic V2 Cli, but i want to install a V1 Ionic project.
It always install a V2 project
even if i do: ionic start myapp --v1

[ricmello]

Can you send the output of ionic --version?

[onigetoc]

To be sure, i did a copy paste of --v1 and it worked.

[onigetoc]

I it worked only in the same time when i choosed the blank template.

Hi,
im having the same problem while trying to start v1 project, i tried with blank sidemenu and tabs templates and it always creates v2 structure.
im not sure if i need to create a new issue, let me know if thats the case.
My ionic --version is 3.0.0
Thanks.

For Ionic 1 projects, use ionic start project_name blank --type ionic1

Thank @renanss it works :)

Thanks @renanss, that's the best answer I got over all the others on Google.

@ajielee Reading the docs would save you from searching with Google :)

Hello friends, it actually changed and it seems that they don't updated the documentation.
It's now: ionic start project_name template_name --v1
Where template_name can be : blank, tabs or sidemenu

@renanss That's incorrect. With the latest V3 CLI, the command is ionic start project_name template_name --type=ionic. Please see ionic start --help, there are plenty of examples. To which documentation are you referring? Can you send a link?

Hi, I tried your suggestion (ionic start project_name blank --type ionic1) but still got the same Invalid command (CLI v2.2.0) error - my ionic info:

Cordova CLI: 6.5.0 
Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.0
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.0
ios-deploy version: 1.9.1 
ios-sim version: 5.0.8 
OS: OS X El Capitan
Node Version: v6.9.5
Xcode version: Xcode 8.2.1 Build version 8C1002

I just need to create a sample v1 project to compare/find out, what the problem in another old v1 project could be. Does anyone have a suggestion?

[imhoffd]

You have an old CLI version. Upgrade to the latest: npm i -g ionic@latest

I just update this closed conversation for anyone that searching how to create an Ionic v1 project.

Just copy/past this command in your terminal -> ionic start myApp blank --type=ionic1

[sdns]

ionic start myApp blank --type=ionic1 not working for me!
use below codes:
ionic start myApp blank --v1

[imhoffd]

@sdns You must have a very old CLI version.

If you find this issue and want to create a v1 app:

1. Update to the latest Ionic CLI: npm i -g ionic@latest
2. Start your app: ionic start myApp blank --type=ionic1
