Same reply as to your other post:

Error adding cordova platform android

Your problem is probably with npm, something to do with permissions and files - in this case symbolic links. This happens quite often and is almost impossible to successfully debug (at least here in the forum). One solution: Uninstall your node, install nvm (or nvm-windows when you are using Windows), install a new node with this, then install ionic and cordova again and try your command again. The problem should be gone.

Problem solved. I re-installed node,npm and ionic.
Thank you Sujan12
