I'm brand new to all of this, and was asked to install Harp for a front-end web dev class, and I keep running into this error. Running node v5.8.0, nam v3.7.3 on Mac OS X 10.11.3

Hi
I'm running into the same problem when I try to install ionic (Mac OS X 10.9.5, node 4.4.0, npm 2.14.20):

@jbudge3 @decebe please read the CONTRIBUTING.md before opening a new issue. Closing this since these two reports are unrelated to each other. If you're still experiencing installation issues open a new issue.

@dattatrey93 this is not the whole issue. As I've said above, please read the CONTRIBUTING.md before opening an issue so you can provide the required information for us to help you.

Try install without -g:

npm install ionic

I'm facing the same problem:

[ERROR] npm ERR! file sh
[ERROR] npm ERR! path sh
[ERROR] npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
[ERROR] npm ERR! errno ENOENT
[ERROR] npm ERR! syscall spawn sh
[ERROR]
[ERROR] npm ERR! [email protected] install: node scripts/install.js
[ERROR] npm ERR! spawn sh ENOENT

The interesting part is that my command passes on my windows dev machine but fails with the above error on our dedicated for builds linux machine.
