How to install Ionic v1? Following official guides install v2

Question

I have followed the installation guide for ionic v1 but running ionic start projectname blank

creates Ionic v2 app.

From current version docs I found

Once that’s done, create your first Ionic app:

$ ionic start cutePuppyPics

Add –v1 if you’d like to use Ionic 1

However I can not understand where should this v1 be added. Tried diffenent places but always get an error or v2 run.

Answer 1

The accepted answer results in ERROR stating --v1 and --v2 flags have been removed so now the command will be as

ionic start myApp blank --type ionic1
