spawn EACCES error when serving ionic app

Question

I am using Ionic CLI version 4.2.1 and Ionic Framework version 3.9.2. When I try and use ionic server in my app I get this error:

Error: spawn EACCES

at _errnoException (util.js:992:11) at ChildProcess.spawn (internal/child_process.js:323:11) at Object.exports.spawn (child_process.js:502:9) at spawn (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/cross- spawn/index.js:17:18) at spawn (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/@ionic/cli- framework/utils/shell.js:131:12) at ShellCommand.spawn (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/@ionic/cli- framework/utils/shell.js:120:16) at Shell.

I got the codebase from another person using the same versions as me, but I have not been able to run it once on my machine.

This is either a permission issue or a a node_modules issue. It's because you transfered the full project folder from another computer.

To resolve the issue, run :

npm rebuild

To clear npm cache and rebuild your modules
And :

chmod 755 -R /yourpath/to/node_modules

The error may be caused by an installation of a module which was made insudo mode
