Hey everyone, It’s been a while. I was re-installing `npm install -g ionic cordova` earlier today and now when I go to start my new project `ionic start "Proj" tabs` and my project runs into the following error (after I click `y` to accept the native help with Cordova). Error Output Portion: ```auto > npm i × Running command - failed! [ERROR] An error occurred while running npm i (exit code 1): > node-sass@4.7.2 install C:\Downloads\Wamp3\www\app\Proj\node_modules\node-sass > node scripts/install.js Downloading binary from
