All I need is the npm command to install the latest working Ionic V1 framework and CLI

I’m using Ionic 2.1.17 (latest that works fine with my company apps). On every new system, I install it using:

```auto
$ npm install -g ionic@2.1.17

```

But I strongly recommend you use the latest Ionic version and using it to create a v1 project, as @tesh94 posted here.
