Description:
Hello there,
I'm currently trying to set up my dev environment on macOS Catalina 15.15.7. My problem is that the ionic cli
seems to ignore the paths of my angular cli.
Everytime I try to execute the ionic serve command, the cli wants me to install the angular cli because it can't find the ng command. When I try to install it it throws an exception as it can't find the npm command also.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install the latest version of nvm via the zsh on macOS
  2. Install node version 14.15.0 (latest LTS)
  3. Validate the node installation
  4. Install @angular/cli via npm globally npm install -g @angular/cli
  5. Validate @angular/cli using ng --version - Version 10.1.7
  6. Install @ionic/cli via npm globally npm install -g @ionic/cli
  7. Validate @ionic/cli using ionic --version - Version 6.12.1
  8. Navigate to Ionic workspace root
  9. Install all dependencies using npm install -r
  10. Start Ionic/Angular dev server using ionic serve --project=<project-name>
  11. Ionic wants me to install the angular cli as it cannot find the ng command
  12. When I try to install it, Ionic is also unable to find the npm command
  13. ¯\(ツ)

My ionic info:

Ionic:

   Ionic CLI                     : 6.12.1 (/Users/psn_local/.nvm/versions/node/v14.15.0/lib/node_modules/@ionic/cli)
   Ionic Framework               : @ionic/angular 5.4.1 (/Users/psn_local/development/git/project-api/Clients/node_modules/@ionic/angular)

Other Information:
Things I already tried

  1. Installation as another user
  2. Installation of Node via the installer from the official website
  3. Installation of Node via Homebrew
  4. Installation of Node via nvm
  5. Using of pnpm for global and local packages (with updated configs of ionic and ng)
  6. Setting an alias for the ng command like here
  7. Manually adding PATHS to the .zshrc file of the user
