I’m a new developer that has developed a few apps with Phonegap. I decided to start using Ionic, but ran into some issues while attempting to install Ionic and create a blank app.
Initially I was unable to install Ionic at all, with the command npm install -g cordova ionic throwing several errors. I updated Node and npm, cleared npm cache and ran the command again and it got successfully installed.
Now I have been trying to create a new app for a while now.
running ionic start test sidemenu gives the following result:
F:\Workshops\Coding\Android>ionic start test sidemenu

I tried npm start test blank as well, but that also resulted in an error.
I tried again after running npm cache clear --force, but got the same error.
Here are some information regarding versions:
node -v
v6.11.1
npm -v
5.3.0
cordova -v
7.0.1
ionic -v
3.6.0
This is my first time installing both cordova and Ionic on this laptop, so older versions of both are unlikely to be present.
However, I have phonegap installed.
phonegap -v
6.5.0
On an unrelated note, the npm install command takes an exceptionally long time, about 20 minutes or more before giving the error.
I have been looking forward to using this for a while now, so please tell me how to solve this problem and properly get Ionic to work.
