Ionic 2 Installation --> npm ERR! Windows_NT 10.0.14393

Hi
I used Ionic 2 until 2 months and this WE and I have reinstalled my pc.
I want to install ionic 2 but I have an error.
In first I have installed node 6.7.0

So when I do this command : npm install -g ionic
I have :

I thinks I have an issue with node but I don’t know what.

I am having the same problem. Were you able to fix it and how? Thanks.

I solved this problem by uninstalling my nodejs and then installing the new one, nodejs v 5.11

I updated npm and node, still didn’t work. Had to reinstall ionic now it works :blush::

  • npm cache clean
  • npm uninstall -g ionic
  • npm uninstall -g cordova
  • npm install -g ionic
  • npm install -g cordova
