Newb and Nightly

ok, long story short, My Iphone is at IOS -11, and I’ve upgraded My Mac to Beta High Sierra and XCode 9

I do a build and I can now run on my Device, YaY! but!,

when I run it It covers over the top bar on phone, you know the one with battery, and wify and proider. (please tell me what this is called :-p)

So, I happened upon the iOS 11 Checklist and did the nightly

$ sudo npm install ionic-angular@nightly --save

i get,

I did: $ ionic --version
3.12.0

any help, thanks

Ok, got answer from support.

I was running this like it was a global install,

$ npm install ionic-angular@nightly --save

when this is actually project npm
so when i ran it in the project forlder it worked.

Installing with sudo is a bad idea, esp if you’re installing nightly builds, which may not be stable. Unless you already have a solidly working configuration, separately partitioned, I’d recommend working with stable npm, stable NodeJS, stable Ionic. Otherwise, you might find yourself going down all kinds of rabbit holes.
