[solved] First time Ionic 2 installation problem

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hello, I have been trying to install Ionic 2 for days and with no luck, I’m posting here.
So far, based on NodeJS 6 support · Issue #960 · ionic-team/ionic-cli · GitHub, I tried downgrading to 5.11.0 but didn’t work.
I have also tried npm cache clean based on error on installing ioniv v2 · Issue #12231 · npm/npm · GitHub

$sudo npm install -g ionic@beta

Any help would be appreciated! Feel free to let me know if I’m not clear enough. I’m not sure if I should include the log but I can if it helps.

Okay, not sure what happened but when I tried this today, I didn’t receive the errors:

sudo npm install npm@3 -g
sudo npm install -g cordova
sudo npm install -g ionic@beta
ionic start cuteFungiPics --v2

This gave the following response:

******************************************************
 Dependency warning - for the CLI to run correctly,      
 it is highly recommended to install/upgrade the following:     

 Install ios-deploy to deploy iOS applications to devices.  `npm install -g ios-deploy` (may require sudo)

I ran into this as well, upgrading from beta-2 to v2. Uninstalling and reinstalling ionic cleared this up, removing the cache didnt seem to help:

npm uninstall -g ionic
npm install -g ionic
