Error in "ionic setup sass"

Hi
I am new to ionic and I have been trying to identify different stable versions. I tried with ionic 2 with node 4.5 and on cli, nothing works out even after typing ionic. Then I tried 1.3.22 ionic version, basic app got created with cordova and small edits also worked fine. But “gulp sass” did not work out.

For gulp sass command to work, I tried lot of options as per the forum, installing , reinstalling changing node version(v12, 4.5, 4.4.1) etc but no luck.

At the end with the below configuration/setting, I still have the problem persisting.

Any help in this regard is appreciated . tks
