I'm trying to install the Ionic framework with npm. It successfully installed. But when I try installing new versions of Ionic and Cordova, I was unable to install and Error messages are coming frequently in the ubuntu terminal.
I had a same problem but i recovered it using following command:
npm install -g cordova ionic --verbos
if its not work then you need to try yarn. you can download and install form https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/ this website
After install, run the following command
yarn add global cordova
yarn add global ionic
I get the following error in my project:
TypeError: _.set is not a function
It doesn't matter if I type ionic info or ionic cordova build android
ionic cli always asks
The Ionic CLI (local version) has an update available (3.7.0 => 3.9.2)! Would you like to install it? Yes / No
Even if I type No I always get this error message.
Try these steps
npm uninstall --save-dev --save-exact #ionic/cli-plugin-cordova
npm uninstall --save-dev --save-exact #ionic/cli-plugin-ionic1
npm uninstall --save-dev --save-exact #ionic/cli-plugin-gulp
outdated version of the inquirer npm module
npm install inquirer
(Should update it from version 3.0 to 5.0 or so)
I am using the latest version of Ionic and just getting started with the Ionic Framework. I am trying to add plugins to my projects but always I gets error something like as shown in image. I have checked my internet connection and tried to install some other plugins also but I get the same error always.
Try uninstalling cordova
npm uninstall cordova -g
and installing latest version
npm install -g cordova
I am working on an Ionic 1 app with a remote team and lately our versions have not liked each other. I was wondering if the fact that I have also been working on Ionic 2 projects for whatever reason my CLI "thinks" these apps are also Ionic 2 and there for is shooting me the error below?
ionic build ios
WARN: ionic.project has been renamed to ionic.config.json, please rename it.

Uh oh! Looks like you're missing a module in your gulpfile:
Cannot find module 'bower'
Do you need to run `npm install`?
I have ran npm install.. does not make it go away.. I also have make sure to have bower installed.
What does this hold up here have to do with? I've been stuck here for a couple days now.
UPDATE
I went to an old project that and i tried to run ionic info to see the versions I have and system info but I get THE SAME error message..
I have no idea what I've done to get this...

UPDATE 2
I downgraded from Node 6 to Node 5.9 On the current project I was having the original issues.. I got this..

List item: The main error (A4CPassenger#1.1.1 - not sure what to call this.. but this was basically the name of the app? I believe the remote team changed it.. for whatever reason I am still getting the old name..)
I was running Node 6.0.0 and I needed to run Node 4.4.4
Under the above conditions can not be resolved, consider the ionic version, I encountered the same problem, because the final version ionic problem. ionic version upgrade quickly, do the project two months ago, and now ionic been upgraded from 1.7.16 to 2.0.0 of. if you Want to re-run this version, you should enter cmd 'npm install ionic#1.7.16', after the run is completed, then the implementation of 'ionic serve' you can run an older version of the project.
I hope to help you
I got the same situation.
I had updated ionic from npm (because it said it is outdated) and I didn't realize I have to update npm too. So I have to update npm e remove and reinstall ionic.
# Update npm (downloaded from nodejs.org +6)
sudo npm remove ionic
sudo npm install -g ionic
Run npm uninstall --save-dev gulp-sass#2
Installed Ionic successfully. When running ionic info and other commands like ionic browser --list, I get an error that cordova is lower then version 4.
Cordova is installed with no sudo and in global home directory.

I am using cordova#6.2 and ionic#1.7 as well. After I got this error message, I opened a new terminal and typed cordova -v which outputted:
? May Cordova anonymously report usage statistics to improve the tool over time?
As soon as I entered my answer (No), the version number printed out and then I re-ran ionic info in my project terminal. The error was gone.
Caveats
I had just updated ionic#1.7.16 from 1.7.15. It's a very minor patch with one set of bug fixes that are not related to this.
The particular system that I had this problem with is running Windows 10.
The first time I ran ionic info in my project directory, I got the same error twice.

I've tried a lot of different methods to resolve this, like reinstall with and without the --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root flags (which is how others advised to fix it on other questions/other places online) but it seems to be an issue with cordova at version 6.1.0 and ionic so for now use 6.0.0 by running
npm install -g cordova#6.0.0
That should do the trick as it is seems 6.1.0 isn't a stable version.
cordova telemetry off
Made the error disappear when running
ionic info
I chose to opt out of Telemetry which collects data during development for analytics. You can also opt in by using the "on" keyword instead.
Hat tip to Wayne Bloss for guiding me to this answer.
I had exactly the same result as Wayne Bloss on Windows 10. The error "> = 4.2.0" on the first attempt, and after checking the version "cordova -v", the error was gone (I answered Yes to the question on statistics).
As stated by Wayne Bloss this warning disappears when answering the question triggered by the command cordova -v. This worked also for my configuration using Cordova 6.3.1.
This works because the original reason for this is that the version information string for Cordova CLI not only contains the version number but also this piece of information "You have been opted out of telemetry. To change this, run: cordova telemetry on." which makes the internal evaluation of the string with semver return always false. Answering the telemetry question with "no" removed the string from the version thus making the warning message disappear.
I just ran into this so I found this page and seems like no proper answer so here is one.
Installing the cordova-cli deb package requires to:
Add the Ubuntu Cordova Personal Package Archive to your Ubuntu system
Install the cordova-cli package (and its dependencies)
So, for ubuntu
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cordova-ubuntu/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cordova-cli
More info here
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/ubuntu/index.html
As others have noted, a possible cause of this is noise from cordova telemetry.
The issue is still present in cordova 6.5.0 and ionic 2.2.2.
As an additional piece of information, I would like to add that the following has to be run for the current user, e.g. if you have a CI system that installs cordova as root and then runs ionic as a non-privileged user, you will have to run
cordova telemetry off
again.
D:\>ionic start myapp blank

Installing npm packages (may take a minute or two)...
/
? ♫ ? ♫ Your Ionic app is ready to go! ? ♫ ? ♫
The Ionic application is started without any issue of Cordova updating.
You can however, use the following code to update:
npm update -g cordova
It's well written in the caveat, You need to install cordova in your npm using npm install -g cordova
or
npm install -g cordova#4.2.0
Problem solved!
