Upgrade Ionic to latest version

I am trying to upgrade Ionic to the latest version. Looking here, it shows that the latest version is 3.0.0. I also follow this tutorial.

So I do the following:

sudo npm uninstall -g ionic
sudo npm install -g ionic@latest

console:

Richards-MacBook-Pro:theWhoZoo richardmarais$ sudo npm install -g ionic
Password:
/Users/richardmarais/npm-global/bin/ionic -> /Users/richardmarais/npm-global/lib/node_modules/ionic/bin/ionic
/Users/richardmarais/npm-global/lib
└── [email protected]

But when I run:

ionic -v

I get:

2.1.18

and:

ionic info

I get:

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 6.4.0 
Ionic Framework Version: 3.1.1
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.18
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.9
Ionic App Scripts Version: 1.3.0
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: Not installed
OS: macOS Sierra
Node Version: v7.10.0
Xcode version: Xcode 8.3.2 Build version 8E2002

I would expect it to update the Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.18 to 3.0.0. Is that a correct assumption? If so, do you know what I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks

The ionic CLI package has been renamed @ionic/cli https://twitter.com/ionicframework/status/1223268498362851330

So you should uninstall ionic from your global

npm uninstall -g ionic

and add the new package name.

npm install -g @ionic/cli@latest

In case anyone comes here from google.

I would start trying the simple things before.

I just ran...

npm --version

Then, the answer was...

4.6.0
   ╭──────────────────────────────────────╮
   │                                      │
   │   Update available 4.6.0 → 4.12.0    │
   │     Run npm i -g ionic to update     │
   │                                      │
   ╰──────────────────────────────────────╯

So, I did...

npm i -g ionic to update

After that...

npm --version
6.5.0

We did big chat. Things which were helpful:

  1. Be sure that you completely delete all previous version with npm uninstall -g ionic or manually from rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules. Don't forget remove symlink too: rm -rf /usr/local/bin/ionic
  2. After completely deletion you should see error: command not found of ionic -v
  3. And now if your npm root -g path is right like /usr/local/lib/node_modules try to install npm install -g ionic@latest. Then you should get correct output of ionic -v
