Error: Cannot find module @ionic/cli-utils

Question

I'm trying to run ionic in terminal and am getting the following error:

module.js:487
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '@ionic/cli-utils'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:485:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:437:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:513:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:11:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/dist/index.js:14:21)
    at Module._compile (module.js:569:30)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:580:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:503:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:466:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:458:3)

I've looked around on google but can't find any reason for the error. Any ideas?

You can just delete the node_modules folder and do some npm install again this should fix the issue. — frogcoder

It also happened to me when updating new version. Solved It as:

Delete node_modules
Delete package-lock.json file
Run npm install command
ionic serve

Happened to me when updating Ionic to it's latest version (currently 3.9.2). Solved it doing the following:

Delete package-lock.json file
Delete node_modules/ folder

Edit package.json file dependencies and devDependencies sections to:

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "4.1.3",
    "@angular/compiler": "4.1.3",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "4.1.3",
    "@angular/core": "4.1.3",
    "@angular/forms": "4.1.3",
    "@angular/http": "4.1.3",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "4.1.3",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "4.1.3",
    "@ionic-native/core": "3.12.1",
    "@ionic-native/splash-screen": "3.12.1",
    "@ionic-native/status-bar": "3.12.1",
    "@ionic/storage": "2.0.1",
    "ionic-angular": "3.6.0",
    "ionicons": "3.0.0",
    "rxjs": "5.4.0",
    "sw-toolbox": "3.6.0",
    "zone.js": "0.8.12"      
},
"devDependencies": {
    "@ionic/app-scripts": "2.1.3",
    "typescript": "2.3.4"
}

Run npm install again

Edit script section in the www/index.html file:

<script src="build/polyfills.js"></script>
<script src="build/vendor.js"></script>
<script src="build/main.js"></script>
