Just add an environment variable HTTP_PROXY with http://proxyUrlOrIP:port and IONIC and Cordova will work just fine.

In case someone is still struggling, below link solved my issue:

http://jasonwatmore.com/post/2014/04/02/Ionic-Framework-Getting-ionic-start-appName-Working-Behind-a-Proxy.aspx

You need to , 1. Add the proxy url to request.js located at 'C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic\node_modules\request\request.js'

  1. Add the proxy url to registry.js located at 'C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cordova\node_modules\plugman\src\registry\registry.js'

Hope this helps.

As you can read on the GitHub issues here:

So this seems like a DNS lookup timed out. I don't think this is a npm issue rather than some issue with your internet connection. Manpage recommends trying again later.

Additionally, you can try updating your npm with sudo npm install npm -g.
