Hi,

I try to install the last version of ionic and it failed. It is under windows !

Doe someone has an idea to fix it please ?

Here is the log

had the same problem, try uninstalling then clearing npm cache and reinstalling

Yes, as per @taljacobson said, first uninstall cordova and ionic by

npm uninstall -g cordova
npm uninstall -g ionic

and then reinstall

npm cache clean

make sure to update to latest npm (optional)

npm install -g npm OR npm install -g npm@latest

and finally

npm install -g cordova@latest
npm install -g ionic@latest
OR
npm install -g cordova ionic

once it’s done, check your ionic version to current ionic version by
ionic -v or ionic info

I had the same problem. I had to uninstall Cordova as well as Ionic and now it works fine. See here
