I have been trying to install ionic on my windows laptop. Before installing ionic on my laptop, I installed nodejs. But after that, everytime I try to install ionic, it shows this error on my command prompt. I also looked for similar problems on this website as well as other but couldn't find any that actually solves my problem. I also looked at npm install -g cordova and ionic 2 error ionic on window 10][1] but the solution provided there would not work either.

I solved this problem by uninstalling my nodejs and then installing the new one, nodejs v 5.11

Open nodejs command prompt with administrator permission, redirect to c:> drive, then try same command which you used.

npm install -g ionic cordova

If you still getting the error, then it may be the problem with your node version here is link to refer about this issue and answer from ionic team
