[mauriciotogneri]

Ionic version: (check one with "x")
[ ] 1.x
[ ] 2.x
[ x] 3.x

Current behavior:
When I run ionic info I get:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/dist/index.js:24
        const [xcode, iosDeploy, iosSim,] = yield Promise.all([
              ^

Expected behavior:
I should get the version information of ionic

Steps to reproduce:
I install cordova and ionic:

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

And run:

ionic info

Ionic info: (run ionic info from a terminal/cmd prompt and paste output below):
The command fails

It should work if I'd specify an older version, right?

[Borongaj]

You have to update NodeJS.
CLI 3 needs >= 6.x

[mrommel]

also downgrading ionic works - npm install -g [email protected] - but this should not be considered an option

updating nodejs solved it for
sudo n latest

Thanks @Borongaj !

Since I'm running CI on a remote agent on which I don't have sudo access then I had to stick to specifying the ionic version. +1 for the version tip @mrommel ! ;)

Try removing the node_modules directory and run npm install again. If this fails try installing the ionic again.
