update to the latest ionic version - ionic-framework

after ionic team has officially released ionic 1.2 versions
I checked
ionic -v
command to get my current version and I found it 1.7.12, then I did
npm install -g ionic
hopefully to update my current version and it just still on the previous version 1.7.12, so what is just the command I have to run to get the ionic 1.2 instead of ionic 1 which I already have now?

It is not a bug in npm, the 1.7.12 version that is shown when you run:
ionic -v
1.7.12
is the ionic-cli version, the command line utility, you can find it here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ionic
The ionic 1.2 version that you are expecting, is the ionic framework version: http://code.ionicframework.com/# latest is 1.2.4 - Copenhagen
If you want to check the framework version that your app is running, go to your app directory and type:
ionic lib
Local Ionic version: 1.2.4 (<path>/myApp/www/lib/ionic/version.json)
Latest Ionic version: 1.2.4 (released 2016-01-08)
* Local version up to date

It may be bug with npm.
First Uninstall ionic and cordova using
npm uninstall cordova ionic
Then update node and npm
Install cordova and ionic
npm install -g cordova ionic
Check the version.

you can always run
sudo npm uninstall -g ionic && sudo npm install ionic

How to install Ionic framework V5

I installed Ionic framework with npm.
npm install -g #ionic/cli
The installed version is 6.2.1, but in my work they using the version 5. How i can install the version 5 ?
6.2.1 is the version of the installed Ionic CLI. This is NOT the Ionic Framework version.
To check the Ionic Framework version of a project, open package.json and look for the version of #ionic/angular. It should be something like this: "#ionic/angular": "^5.0.5".
Also, the versions of the #ionic-native/* plugins would be 5 or greater.
To sum it up, if you are about to contribute to an Ionic 5 project, installing the latest version of the Ionic CLI is enough. When setting up the project on your machine, running npm install should install all the required dependencies, including Ionic 5.

I have upgraded to ionic 4 but my project doesnt support the version now I need to downgrade to ionic 3. What should i do? [duplicate]

The recent version is 3.2.0 and I'm facing lot's of issues with it like the ionic serve command not working.
npm install -g ionic#version_number
ex: if you want to install ionic 2.5.0,
npm install -g ionic#2.5.0
edit: to list all versions of ionic, npm info ionic
You can downgrade to your old version by running below command:
npm install -g ionic#3.9.2
Get your version here
IONIC CLI VERSIONS
You may try uninstalling it first: npm uninstall -g ionic
then install it again with the version that you want to install npm install -g ionic#x.x.x
then check ionic version with ionic --version you may need to restart your terminal to get the latest version running
First thing first, uninstall the current version:
npm uninstall -g ionic
then, install the version you want :
npm install -g ionic#"the version for example #3.20.0"
You just need to do like this:
npm install -g ionic#3.1.0
Changelog
Sometimes it throws error while overwriting the existing files , so add --force
Ex, If you want to downgrade to version 3.20, run:
npm i -g ionic#3.20 --force

Ionic still creates v1 projects even after upgrading v2

I'm trying to start an Ionic v2 project following the official docs here, but I end up with an Ionic v1 project every time. My steps:
Remove current ionic and install the beta:
$ npm uninstall ionic -g
$ npm install ionic#beta -g
/Users/mike/.npm-global/bin/ionic -> /Users/mike/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/ionic/bin/ionic
/Users/mike/.npm-global/lib
└── ionic#2.0.0-beta.32
Create a new Ionic v2 TypeScript project:
$ ionic start ionic2-test --v2 --ts

What am I doing wrong?
So, the problem is that the Ionic CLI is not being updated to the latest one (2.0.0 beta-32). Have you tried by doing this:
After $ npm uninstall ionic -g, update npm and clean npm's cache:
npm cache clean -f
npm install npm -g
Delete manually any folder containing references to Ionic like those you've included in the question:
/Users/mike/.npm-global/bin/ionic
/Users/mike/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/ionic/bin/ionic
/Users/mike/.npm-global/lib
And then after that:
$ npm install -g ionic#beta
or (on Mac and Linux you’ll need to add sudo to install Ionic globally):
$ sudo npm install -g ionic#beta
#sebaferreras lead me to the solution.
Even after sudo npm uninstall ionic -g, the ionic command was still available:
$ which ionic
/usr/local/bin/ionic
So I think I must have had it installed in multiple places. There seemed to be something generally screwed up with my node installation (I possibly installed from homebrew as well as from the official .pkg download), so I decided to completely remove it all and start from scratch, as described here:
How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)
I then reinstalled node using the official .pkg from their website, su-did npm install -g ionic#beta, and now...
$ ionic info
Ionic CLI Version: 2.0.0-beta.32
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.0.0-beta.18
...
So I'm all fixed up!
this link will solve and save your time: http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/getting-started/installation/
the simple way to create a ionic project: go to your into the directory where you want to create you project and the type this cmd:
ionic start cutePuppyPics --v2
Your Ionic CLI is not updated yet. Just run the command "npm install ionic cordova" once again, no need to uninstall the previous version manually. It will override the previous version automatically.
Just for your future help: To build you first app in Ionic, You might need to update jdk to 1.8, sdk to latest one from sdk manager (no need to change target sdk) and the first build will download a number of Gradle files, so, good Internet connection is needed.

what is the latest version of ionic build 1.1.0 or 1.6.4

I installed ionic using the following command:
npm install -g ionic
After navigating to node_modules/ionic folder on my local machine and opening the package.json file, it says that the version is 1.6.4
However the ionicframework.com website says the latest version is
1.1.0 "xenon-xerus"
This is quiet confusing. Can someone clarify
You need to differentiate between the ionic CLI (version 1.6.4) and the ionic lib in your application project (version 1.1.0).
if you type ionic -v you'll get the version of the CLI (command line interface)
if you go into your project folder and type ionic lib you'll get the lib version.
Btw: You update the library with ionic lib update
Latest version: 1.7.8
Run npm install -g ionic to update
check version ----
ionic --version
1.7.8
run following command in terminal/cmd: ionic info that command will give you full details of ionic and Cordova installed in your pc and project.
And then you can use npm install -g ionic for install latest ionic build.
