How to perform ionic upload from Visual Studio 2015

Question

I have created a basic app using the new ionic template available for visual studio 2015. I want to look at the app on iPhone's using ionic View App. Where can I issue the cli command ionic upload? (PM console and console2 refuse it)

since just typing ionic in the cmd did not work, (unrecognized command) I downloaded and installed ionic framework (even though everything in VS2015 ionic was working fine). Then, if I run ionic upload I get an error:

ordovaProject4\www>ionic upload

Invalid Version: Not installed (CLI v1.6.4)

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: Not installed
Ionic CLI Version: 1.6.4
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.3.8
OS: Windows 8.1
Node Version: v0.12.2

Answer 1

As you can see you are missing Cordova CLI, perhaps that is causing the problem?

Try

npm install -g cordova
