Ionic installation after Ionic2 installation

I tried to install Ionic2 with no success, so I decided to go back to Ionic but during the process something went bad and I can't re-installl the ionic and cordova.

after sudo npm install -g cordova ionic, I tried to run ionic and got:

xx@xxx:~/dev$ ionic info
module.js:328
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'xmlbuilder'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:326:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:277:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:354:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:12:17)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/xml2js/lib/xml2js.js:12:13)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/xml2js/lib/xml2js.js:436:4)

    at Module.load (module.js:344:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:301:12)

my versions are:

xx@xxx:~/dev$ npm -v
2.14.12
gal@xxx:~/dev$ nodejs -v
v0.10.25
xx@xxx:~/dev$ node -v
v4.2.6

Cleaning the npm cache helped in my case. The actions required were:

  1. Install a stable version of nodejs depending of your OS follow these instructions.

  2. Remove all installed versions of cordova and ionic:

    sudo npm uninstall -g ionic cordova bower

  3. Critically, clean the npm cache:

    npm cache clean

  4. Install from scratch:

    sudo npm install bower cordova ionic -g

NOTE: Do not install nodejs version from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS repository because is outdated.

You should check your version of nodejs. Make sure that it's version 4. If not, uninstall nodejs and install ver 4. Goodluck! P/s: Uninstall: 

sudo apt-get remove nodejs

Install:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

I also encountered that issue. What I did was:

$ cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/
$ npm install xmlbuilder

You may also use sudo

It just happens that xmlbuilder is a dependency of xml2js and cannot load the module because it wasn't included in the ionic's package.json of the upon installing ionic.

sudo npm install -g ionic@beta  cordova

to install the V2 version according to link.

I faced similar issues while downloading ionic 2. Try to install node version 4.2.3 and cordova version 5.4.1 first and then install ionic

  • For ionic v2, npm install -g ionic@beta
  • For ionic v1, npm install -g ionic
