I install ionic and cordova globally but the commands aren’t recognized.
I’m on Win 7 - 64bit
Latest Nodejs is installed
This is the install log :

Fixes I have done so far without luck :
- Reinstall nodejs
- npm cache clean
- Manually cleared npm-cache folder and installed ionic + cordova
Is there something that I’m missing? Why can’t I use ionic?
Please do tell if additional info is required 
P.S. I’ve tried many threads on the same issue here and also in ionic forums but non of the fixes worked, that’s why I decided to put up my own thread!
Thanks in advance!
