Error installing @ionic/app-scripts in visual studio 2017

HI I have been looking through the forums and I have found people with similar errors but I am having trouble fixing mine. When I try install the dependencies after starting a new project they all install except for @ionic/app-scripts.

this is my error log
Build failed with error code: 1

npm install @ionic/app-scripts@latest - - save - - dev

Try this command.

I have tried that, still doesnt work

npm rebuild node-sass

Then run the other command


This what i get when I run that command

npm uninstall npm -g

npm i npm@latest -g

What do I do after these 2 commands

THhis is what visual studio tells me
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.2.7 (node_modules\fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.2.7: wanted {“os”:“darwin”,“arch”:“any”} (current: {“os”:“win32”,“arch”:“ia32”})

and this is what my cmd tells me

Is it possible that the proble is due to node-sass because cmd and visual studios say that they are 2 different versions

npm uninstall npm -g

npm i npm@3.10.10 -g

npm install @ionic/app-scripts@latest - - save - - dev

Then try to run the initial command that led you to the error.

That didnt work still saying @ionic/app-scripts not installed

I didnt get errors in the console running thos commands. But in vs when i try install dependencies I still have the same problem
