Terminal 'ionic start' gives npm ERR - ionic-framework

Question

I am trying to start my first ionic project based on VUE, following the steps on https://ionicframework.com/docs/intro/cli
I reinstalling nodejs, tried uninstalling ionic > npm cache clear --force > reinstall, as well as launching Visual Studio Code in admin mode. Keep getting same error below. I am out of options, any advice?

I've had the same issue myself but not had much chance to do any digging in to why it's doing it yet but could be a breaking change in a newer version of Angular which the Ionic team haven't picked up on.
In the meantime (assuming you're using Angular), use:
ng serve and access it at http://localhost:4200.
