title: Create an ionic 2 project with ionic 3 cli
body: <p>How do you create ionic projects with different versions of ionic? </p>
  
  <p>I am able to create an <code>Ionic 1</code> project by using <code>--type=ionic1</code> flag in <code>ionic-cli</code> as mentioned <a href="http://ionicframework.com/docs/v1/getting-started/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. </p>
  
  <p>But how do we create an <code>Ionic 2</code> project with <code>ionic-cli 3</code>? 
  <code>--type=ionic2</code> doesn't work as mentioned in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44366936/is-it-possible-to-create-ionic-2-project-in-ionic-3-cli">this</a> thread. </p>
  
  <p>Any kind of help will be appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
