Hello,

I use last version of NodeJS.

I’m trying to use sass in a new ionic project on Windows 7 :

ionic start Demo blank  
cd Demo  
ionic setup sass

But i have problems for the last command (ionic setup sass) :

npmnpm WARN package.json demo@1.0.0 No license field.  
npm WARN deprecated pangyp@2.3.2: use node-gyp@3+, it does all the things

For me it helped the following:

1. Revert back to node 0.10.40 (use nvm or nvm-windows)
2. delete the `node_modules`
3. folder run `npm update`

it might work with 0.12.7 but I haven’t tested that option yet.

Also in sack overflow there’s a solution that uses `npm rebuild node-sass`

Thank you very much, now it works with 0.12.7 😄
