ionic installation in ubuntu

Question

I start learning ionic-framework, my problem is I cannot install ionic-framework in ubuntu. My Node.js's version is v0.12.7 and npm version is 2.11.3. I follow http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/installation.html link, I get the following error::

install cordova

 root@meutex-pc:~# npm install -g cordova
 npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":"0.8.x || 0.10.x"}    (current: {"node":"0.12.7","npm":"2.11.3"})

install ionic

 root@meutex-pc:~# npm install -g ionic

Now create first ionic app:

The problem is in your version of npm. please try "npm install npm@latest" this should install the latest npm.

Once its done, try "npm install -g cordova". Hope I am not late

Go to github clone the link to your directory: [ https://github.com/nraboy/ubuntu-ionic-installer ]

git clone https://github.com/nraboy/ubuntu-ionic-installer

after cloning, go to the directory - ubuntu-ionic-installer:

cd ubuntu-ionic-installer

sudo ./ubuntu-ionic-installer

Then get coffee and relax until the install is done you can

to check just type ionic in the terminal
