Node 6.7 is required, as well as whatever version of NPM comes with it. So I’d try updating first and then try again.

Yeah I don’t believe it officially says it anywhere, but it seems everybody has had to update in order to install RC0

i was having the same issue. i have node v4.6 better not go with v6.7

if you have installed the beta cli you should run **npm uninstall -g ionic** first. You need version 2.1.0 for this release. Check your cli version by running ionic -v in the command line.

after that give  
`npm install -g ionic`

you can also check other changelogs here

my node version is 5.x

doing `npm uninstall -g ionic` first and then `npm install -g ionic` worked for me. so it works on node 5.x too.

Edit :

This solved my problem. but i wonder if i should mark this as a solution.
