Ionic cord problem

Question

When I try to start ionic, I get the following error: did I just miss the cord? Or something else?

Usr:example1 user$ ionic add platform ios
Bower component installed - platform
Usr:example1 user$ ionic build ios
The provided path "/Users/user/ionicApps/example1/platforms/ios" is not a Cordova iOS project.
Usr:example1 user$ 

Cordoba is really installed when I did cordova -v, I see 5.0.0

Answer 1

The command to add the iOS platform:

ionic platform add ios

Make sure you are on a Mac because you cannot do this on Windows or Linux.
