i used above solution same error

install version 5.x of node.js

downgrade your your npm to 3.10.8 or 3.10.7 and try installing again

sudo npm install -g npm@latest-2
sudo npm install -g npm@3.10.7

I tried both method to dowbgrade npm and node to 5.x but same error getting

If you read the ionic docs you need node version of greater than 6. so don’t downgrade node

The current node versions are 6 (LTS) and 7. You shouldn’t use 4&5 anymore.

maxx will you help to resolve above issues

Update your Node & NPM to the latest LTS (6.9.x) first.

After updated to latest node and npm @adam and @brandyshea Please look into it

i am using v5.x from a long time …never faced any issues with ionic FYI

thats fine, but Node5 isn’t maintained anymore so i’d advise to update to a maintained version.

So… only a little bit late to the party heh.

@riteshbhat17 and @maxx0r, we suggest using the LTS (what ever that version is just to keep up with security updates)

back to the real issue here…

@iksoft what version of windows are you using? Also, what command prompt are you using?
