Your Ionic CLI version is updated. Your project is in Ionic 2 RC3( based on "ionic-angular": "2.0.0-rc.3",) not 2.1.7. Your current project should still work.

If you want to upgrade your project to the current RC4 version, the quickest way is to see the package.json file of the ionic starter template. Update your package.json accordingly. Delete your node_modules folder. Finally run

npm install

Check the readme

Another way is to simply do, ionic start myApp blank --v2 and replace the src folder with yours and add any additional packages you have in your previous project.
