Getting exactly the same, using --skip-npm and running npm install manually helps.

Same issue here, my ionic info:

Cordova CLI: 6.3.1
Gulp version:  CLI version 3.9.1
Gulp local:   Local version 3.9.1
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.0
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.0.0-beta.20

ios-sim version: 5.0.8

using --skip-npm and running npm install manually doesnt work:

Linking to https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues/1445 as it is the same issue but that one is windows centric.

@rogiervandenberg This might be because you are running with npm v2, which I believe we'd expect to fail. Can you try with npm 3, and let us know if it works?

Upgraded my npm from 2 to 3 (3.10.8) and it works now!

Thank You. It works after upgrading npm to 2 (3.10.8)

Upgraded to 3.10.8
