Ionic is not recognized as an external or internal command

EDIT : It seems to work when I run C:\Program Files\nodejs\nodevars.bat prior to do anything. A permanent solution would still be enjoyable though.

EDIT 2: The solution that works for me is to add C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\npm prior to C:\Android\npm in the PATH variable, and then to restart the command prompt.

I'm trying to install Ionic on Windows 10, and I cannot run it. I get the error message: "Ionic is not recognized as an external or internal command".

I already had Cordova installed because I was testing jQuery Mobile, and I think for this reason, I may have some strange things happening in my PATH environment variable. Here is how it looks like:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools\;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools\;C:\Program Files\nodejs\;C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\;C:\Users\Pierre\AppData\Roaming\npm\;C:\Android\npm\;C:\Android\npm\node_modules\cordova\bin\;

When I run cordova -v, it works, showing that Cordova is installed properly (also I know it because I run it correctly with jQuery Mobile).

I tried to clean the npm cache and install ionic again, both with and without the administrator status, and it didn't change anything. Here is the output when I run npm install -g ionic:

I have a lot of warnings, but I don't know if it is related at all. Thank you for your help.

Are you sure Ionic and Cordova are included in your PATH? I recently re installed Ionic and Cordova and had much troubles having it to work. Some say Cordova and Ionic are supposed to be automatically included in the PATH when installed, but I noticed that it doesn't. You should add this line to your PATH: c:\users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\npm\
