Mmm, nothing here. i tried recently, uninstalling node and its dependencies, reinstalling node and installing ionic/cordova but same result :S

I think is something about the long path things in windows, or not? fuck, i want to develop in v2 :frowning:

@aluknot Sorry you’re having troubles!

So jsut to run down the list of things, did you

  • Install ionic and cordova globally from an admin command prompt?
  • Update/downgrade node versions recently?

Now the problem is solved :). Yesterday i uninstalled node, now when i go to the official page i see new versions available (v4.4.0 LTS and v5.8.0 Stable). Before i used v4.3.1 and v4.3.2 with the problems descripted above, now i decide to use v5 and works perfect.

But maybe the solution was the manually deletion of the folder npm-cache in C:\Users\{user-name}\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache

This last time i tried with Windows PowerShell (i don’t think this is relevant but who knows)

Sry if my english isn’t perfect. And thanks for the answers!

P.S: i have 2.0.0-beta.19 version of ionic, but i see there is a 2.0.0-beta.2, this is the last? becouse npm install -g ionic@beta download the .19 version.

So ionic on npm is the cli package name

the framework is under ionic-angular on npm.

Same problem here!

Installing the Ionic project from the admin command prompt, solved my issue…

Yeah but in my case that didn’t solve the problem, only the update of node. But nvm, this was solved some days ago.

This can be closed.
