Installing Ionic Npm Err! Tar.Unpack Error

installing ionic npm ERR! tar.unpack error

I was having same problem on Windows 8 (64 bit)

Solution:

Don't forget to install other dependencies before installing ionic http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/installation.html

1) Uninstall Node from Control Panel

2) Restart PC

3) Download (MSI Installer) older version of Node from http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.38/ or 64bit http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.38/x64/

4) Install Node version 0.10.38

5) npm install -g cordova

6) npm install -g ionic

Done!

NPM install -g cordova ionic gives Err -13

You're having issues because you don't have write access to the /usr/local directory. A couple options to fix this:

Execute the install as root/administrator using sudo

sudo npm install -g cordova ionic

You can change ownership of the /usr/local directory (and all subdirectories) to the current user, which is usually a fine solution on a single user machine:

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local

You can change the file permissions on the directory recursively to allow universal write access (not so safe, but still not likely to cause issues)

sudo chmod -R a+w /usr/local

Alternatively, you could change the place where your npm install -g command installs stuff, though you'll also probably have to mess with the PATH variable as well if you want access to the commands. To change the location where npm installs global modules, enter npm config edit and then add a line that says

prefix=/path/to/new/location

npm ERR! registry error parsing json - While trying to install Cordova for Ionic Framework in Windows 8

In my case, I had a very old version of npm. Upgrading npm using sudo npm install npm -g fixed the problem for me. Additionally I also did rm -rf node_modules and npm cache clean and npm config set registry "http://registry.npmjs.org/"

I can't install ionic

Try running

npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

before installing ionic
