What is your ionic info output?

You are probably using the latest node which is not supported. Use the LTS release.

Based on your error output, it looks like you do not have a python environment variable set up (or no python at all). Try installing python, setting up its environment variable and see if it helps.

Hi,
Thank you. let me try

Run ionic info on the command line and copy/paste the whole output.

Hi,
I solved the problem. the problem is the version of node 8.9.1 and i installed old version of node. its running good now. thank you for your help
