Ionic issue after installation

Question

I need some helps to solve problems with ionic on my mac. For every command I launch from terminal with ionic, I receive the same error as shown below.

For example even if I give command ionic -v, I receive this:

$ ionic -v
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/dist/index.js:24
        const [xcode, iosDeploy, iosSim,] = yield Promise.all([
              ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token [

    at Module._compile (module.js:387:25)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:422:10)

    at Module._compile (module.js:413:34)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:422:10)

I have checked the file /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/dist/index.js, but all is fine. Even there's this parse error, I even tried with uninstall and reinstalled ionic without success. Can someone give me suggestions please?

Answer 1

I have solved this! My nodejs version was too old (5.6.0) and I have seen that it doesn't work with ionic cli, so I have installed before nvm

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.1/install.sh | bash

and then launch from terminal -> nvm install v6.10.3 to have last stable node js version, now all works again!

Just remove nodejs from your linux :

sudo apt remove nodejs

And install the latest version :

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

This come from the official website

This did the trick for me, Hope it helps :)

npm cache clean -f

npm install npm -g

On Mac, I am able to solve it using upgrading node using following command :
