If you are getting this error on Ionic2
This issue generally occur when we just clone / download app and try to add platform to it.

its very easy to resolve, then here are the steps-

just create a "www" directory in application root.

"./www"

can also do by this command-

mkdir www

now we can easily run following command -

ionic platform add android
or
ionic platform add ios

Hope it will help!!!
