hi downgrade the npm in mac

npm install -g [email protected]

and downgrade node

brew uninstall node

After this you just have to install the version you want to. This can usually be done with brew, although the package/formulae versioning did change recently; something like:

brew install node@6

this might be optional

brew link --force node@6

and fix this bug.
i work for me.

I solved this issue by updating ionic-cli & downgrading node & npm. Here is my config:
