Install Ionic on Mac OS

How To Install Ionic Framework on Mac

Ionic is a hybrid HTML5 mobile app framework. I some trouble installing it. Here is the solution I discovered to properly install Ionic with no issues.

PREREQUISITES

npm (Node package manager) must be installed. It comes when you install Node.js. You can check whether it is installed by opening a new command line window (Mac: Open the Terminal app; Windows: Press the ‘Windows Button’ and ‘r’ at the same time and then type in “cmd” and hit enter) and typing in:

				
					npm -v

And hitting enter. You should get the version number of npm. If not, install Node.js.

INSTALLATION

1- Open a new command line window. Type in:

				
					sudo npm install --global --unsafe-perm quickscrape

And hit enter.

Mac: You will need to type in your computer password on all commands beginning with ‘sudo’

Windows: Remove the ‘sudo’ on all commands

2- Then type in:

				
					sudo npm install -g cordova ionic --unsafe-perm quickscrape

And hit enter.

3- Finally type in:

				
					sudo npm install -g ionic --unsafe-perm node-sass

And hit enter.

Ionic should be installed now. Start a new project by typing in:

				
					ionic start myApp blank

Done.
