Updating Ionic and cordova not working

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

I have tried updating Ionic and Cordova using npm install -g cordova ionic

The install seems to work but now any Ionic command I run gives me this error

C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic\dist\index.js:24
        const [xcode, iosDeploy, iosSim,] = yield Promise.all([
              ^

I have tried updating npm and I am on 4.6.1 and tried reinstalling both again but still receive the error when I type any ionic command. Example ionic info

I’m on windows.

What version of nodejs itself do you have?

I should have included that, it’s 4.2.1

@rapropos Yeah, you’re right - it was my nodejs version not npm version that was the issue. Thanks

Updating to nodejs v6.10.3 solved the issue
