Hey all,
I am looking into reports of issues installing and creating new ionic projects with the ionic npm command line tool.
If you’ve had problems with it, please let me know below. I think some issues relate to having old versions of node or npm installed, but I’m also particularly interested in issues running the commands on Windows (including XP).
Thanks!
Hi,
I am trying to install Ionic on Windows 8.
I have installed Git 1.9.2 and Node v0.10.28 under the ‘Program Files’ folder.
The following command ran without any errors/warnings:
npm install -g cordova
I then installed the cordova Android platform requirements, Java, Ant and added the path entries, etc.
When I run the following command:
npm install -g ionic
I get a warning as shown below (this may or may not be significant) but the command seems to complete:
npm WARN package.json github-url-from-git@1.1.1 No repository field.

I then run:
ionic start TestTabs tabs
which seems to run ok and produces the following output:

Not sure what is meant by “Please see console for more info.” ?
I would greatly appreciate any help with this.
Thanks
Graham
Ok, I found that there was a problem with the path entries to the Android SDK.
The “ionic platform add android” command is working now.
Thanks
I have problem with command line, ionic build android, as follows,

Edgar, I am having the same problem did you ever find a solution to your issue?
After upgrading the ANT as suggested in this forum, I still have the same error,
C:\Users\Edgar\todo>ionic platform add android
Creating android project…

I have also a problem while adding android platform.
The test project that I have created in temp folder is working well in browser with “ionic serve” command.
But if I try to add the android platform, following error occurs:
C:\Temp\myapp1>ionic platform -add android
Adding in default Ionic hooks
Running command: “C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe” C:\Temp\myapp1\hooks\before_platform_add\init_directories.js C:\Temp\myapp1
Unable to fetch platform android: Error: Failed to parse json
Unexpected end of input
I tried to reinstall everything and check the environment path variable. Everything looks good but could not solve the problem.
Thanks for reply in advance
I installed Node.js successfully.
Then in my command prompt I’m supposed to run “npm install -g cordova ionic”.
But I get this error:
‘npm’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Why is this happening? I have Windows 8.1 Single Language OS. Is it a problem with the OS? Help, please!
