ionic serve not executing

Question

I have this simple app.

I am getting this error while running ionic serve command:

Error: Cannot find module 

    '/media/sae/work/linuxspace/techieApp/node_modules/@ionic/app-scripts'
        at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:542:15)

        at Object.importAppScripts (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/@ionic/cli-utils/lib/ionic-angular/app-scripts.js:7:20)

This link suggests downgrading my node.js.

I do not want to downgrade my node.js.

Can someone guide me what to do here?

Here you have all versions of Node.js https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/ Just download the version you want & install it.

from npm docs:

An easy way to stay up-to-date

Node.js has lots of versions, and its development is very active. As a good practice to manage the various versions, we recommend that you use a version manager for your Node.js installation. There are many great options, here are a few:

• NVM
• nodist
• n
• nave
• nodebrew
