cordova setup

sudo npm install -g ionic cordova
sudo npm install -g ios-sim

Cordova.js will be generated when you build a specific platform (i.e. cordova build android)

ionic start cordovaApp tabs
cd cordovaApp

ionic platform add ios
ionic build ios
ionic emulate ios

Some quick tips:

• cd into your project: $ cd cordovaApp
• Setup this project to use Sass: ionic setup sass
• Develop in the browser with live reload: ionic serve
• Add a platform (ios or Android): ionic platform add ios [android]

Note: iOS development requires OS X currently. See the Android Platform Guide for full Android installation instructions:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/edge/guide_platforms_android_index.md.html

 * Build your app: ionic build <PLATFORM>

 * Simulate your app: ionic emulate <PLATFORM>

 * Run your app on a device: ionic run <PLATFORM>

 * Package an app using Ionic package service: ionic package <MODE> <PLATFORM>
