Installing Ionic first time on MAC machine

Hi All,

I have MacBook Pro laptop, having IOS version10.8.0. I want to install and run Ionic framework on my machine.
Can anyone please tell me that which softwares/ applications are required to run Ionic.
Please name all such applications and tell me proper procedure.

Many Thanks !!

you have to install nodejs
and run this command in a terminal

sudo npm install -g cordova ionic

then you might create a new app via the command

ionic start myApp
