I installed both nodejs and ionic CLI on my system but still i am getting this error on coder

Coder in Docker has separate ubuntu system. So, terminal in coder is not yours terminal in pc.
Install nodejs and another dependencies into coder's terminal.

You could also launch the binary on your host to solve this problem.

Can you tell me how to do that, I am new to linux and docker

Read readme file.
Download file code-server1.939-vsc1.33.1-linux-x64.tar.gz, unzip and run the command code-server.
This will run coder inside your pc, not in Docker. The terminal will be the same as in you pc.

@jishnutv Docker containers have their own isolated environment, you should supply Node.js and NPM via the package manager. The most official way is via NodeSource. They have instructions for it.
