Cannot download ionic project base

When trying to get the basic Ionic application working following the instructions from here:

http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/installation.html

I get the following error in the command line:

Downloading: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-base/archive/master.zip
Unable to grab wrapper project: undefined

My Cordova and Ionic installs occurred without error and I cannot find anyhing else on this while searching the net, any ideas?

For anyone else that comes across this issue the following website helped me out - http://www.jasonwatmore.com/post/2014/04/02/Ionic-Framework-Getting-ionic-start-appName-Working-Behind-a-Proxy.aspx

The error was being caused by proxy issues. As it looks like Ionic doesn’t pick up the proxy from either node or git. So I followed the instructions (Step 1) on the link and that resolved my initial error.

I also had to additionally install Plugman on top of Cordova:

npm install -g plugman

And then also add the proxy setting to plugman:

plugman config set proxy http://yourproxy.com
