Issues updating Ionic

Ionic Framework
1

I tried to update to the latest version of Ionic using:

npm -i g ionic

When I run it, I get the following error:

C:\ionic>npm i -g iconic
npm WARN deprecated wrench@1.5.9: wrench.js is deprecated! You should check out fs-extra (https://github.com/jprichardso
n/node-fs-extra) for any operations you were using wrench for. Thanks for all the usage over the years.
npm WARN deprecated mkdirp@0.5.1: Legacy versions of mkdirp are no longer supported. Please update to mkdirp 1.x. (Note
that the API surface has changed to use Promises in 1.x.)
npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated fsevents@1.2.13: fsevents 1 will break on node v14+ and could be using insecure binaries. Upgrade to
 fsevents 2.

I installed the latest version of nodejs. Still having the same error.

Any idea what is causing that error?

The “iconic” package has “tools for SVG-icons manipulation and icon packs” apparently.

You probably want @ionic/cli instead. See Install the Ionic CLI.
