Same Problem here, cause was npm version 3.10.5 .
Updating npm to latest 4.x fixed it

[waybackrider]

npm is now 4.0.5

[dhsont]

I updated to npm 4.0.5
But still not working

npm ERR! node v6.9.2 npm ERR! npm v4.0.5

[patwaswapnil]

npm install -g npm@latest before npm install -g ionic@latest worked for me.

[richardshergold]

I'm having this problem too. I have node 7.2.1 and npm 4.0.5

(I'm stuck now as I no longer have Ionic installed and can't re-install it)

From my terminal:

[richardshergold]

Solved it. I had to uninstall cordova as wel as ionic. The install worked find after that.

[dtrujo]

I have the same problem. I uninstall ionic and now i can install the new version.

[adirzoari]

@richardshergold i'm really confusing. it's shows me different npm version in different folders and not in each folder the ionic works

see here

C:\Users\adirz>npm -v
4.0.5

C:\Users\adirz>ionic -v
2.1.18

C:\Users\adirz>cd myapps

C:\Users\adirz\myapps>cd haversami

C:\Users\adirz\myapps\HaverSami>npm -v
3.10.9

C:\Users\adirz\myapps\HaverSami>ionic -v

[richardshergold]

@adirzoari i'm not really an expert on this sort of stuff. Did you try globally uninstalling ionic and cordova and then re-installing (globally). It works for me now.

[adirzoari]

@richardshergold what commands please?

[richardshergold]

@adirzoari
This is what I did:

npm uninstall -g cordova
npm uninstall -g ionic
sudo npm install -g cordova ionic

[dhsont]

@richardshergold
Thanks for trick
It is working now.

@adirzoari
You must uninstall ionic & cardova

If not worked update node to v 6.9.2
and try
npm uninstall -g cordova
npm uninstall -g ionic
sudo npm install -g cordova ionic

[olavocneto]

I am at my root directory and I ran the commands, but cannot get cordova, ionic installed properly.

I have got the following result when I run "npm info" :

npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "info"
npm ERR! node v7.3.0

Can anyone explain me what should be done in order to install cordova, ionic please?
Thanks

@josecarvajal8

what is version of node you have ?
update node to v 6.9.2
update npm to latest

after updating
You must uninstall ionic & cardova

try following commands

npm uninstall -g cordova
npm uninstall -g ionic

• note even if you see "ionic: command not found" you must run ' npm uninstall -g ionic' it will remove ionic completely

sudo npm install -g cordova ionic

@john5db

Man thanks for your time, I have node 6.9.4 and the last version of npm
and I have done those steps several time and it keeps showing "ionic: command not found"

thanks man

Thanks for the issue! This issue appears to be associated with an old version of the Ionic CLI. Please update to the latest CLI version, which supports all versions of the Ionic Framework. If the issue is relevant and if it persists after updating to the latest CLI version, please create a new issue.

Thank you for using Ionic!
