If the "ios-sim was not found." Error occurs, you can execute the following command:
npm install -g ios-sim

If everything will pop up the simulator, the interface will look like this:

Ionic Lab

Ionic Lab is the desktop version of the development environment, if you do not like the use of command line operation, Ionic Lab will meet your needs.
