Module 1: Install Ionic

In this module, you install the Ionic Framework and Cordova using npm (the Node Package Manager).

Steps

1. Make sure you have an up-to-date version of Node.js installed on your system. If you don't have Node.js installed, you can install it from here.

2. Open a terminal window (Mac) or a command window (Windows), and install Cordova and Ionic:

   npm install -g cordova ionic
   

   On a Mac, you may have to use sudo depending on your system configuration:

   sudo npm install -g cordova ionic
   

3. If you already have Cordova and Ionic installed on your computer, make sure you update to the latest version:

   npm update -g cordova ionic
   

   or

   sudo npm update -g cordova ionic
