What is the usage order of Ionic, Angular & Cordova in the first step?

Hi
I want to build my first cross platform (for Mobile, Web-Browser and Desktop) using Ionic and Angular. but now it’s so confusing!

I was planning to use Angular and Cordova to build my APP first and add Ionic to my project at end, but as I can see, Ionic has both of Angular & Cordova integrated inside! then I don’t need to use cordova and angular separately? isn’t true?
if No, then can you please guide me what is the usage order of Ionic, Angular & Cordova in the first step?

First,npm install -g ionic
then, npm install -g cordova

inside a project
ionic platform add android
cordova plugin add xxxx

Exactly. Just build your app using Ionic, This automatically uses Angular in the background (Ionic is built on top of Angular) and when you build your app (get files to run on your mobile phone) Cordova will be added into the mix to “package” your Ionic app into a native container.
