into your project folder run in terminal npm install reflect-metadata then run ionic serve

😉

cd into your project folder Type npm install reflect-metadata

Now run ionic serve

Open your project folder Open Package.json and add

"reflect-metadata": "^0.1.3",

run

npm install

on the folder --> ionic is no longer adding reflect-metadata to the package.json

OS Ubuntu 16.04

Install reflect-metadata and angular-cli sudo npm install -g reflect-metadata sudo npm install -g angular-cli ionic serve

use nodejs 4.8.0 , si tiene problema con version de nodejs, usa NVM

After I update my node to version 6.9.1

It Worked

Thank You graphefruit

Oh and I see now, upgrade to node.js 6.9 you’re using 4.3! - it was pointed out some way earlier you need the latest node.js
