I have this issue when trying to install Ionic.

mypc@mypc-HP-ProBook-470-G2:~$ sudo npm install -g ionic
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/ionic
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/ionic
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/ionic/-/ionic-1.7.14.tgz

npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/connect/node_modules/finalhandler requires debug@'1.0.4' but will load
npm WARN unmet dependency undefined,
npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined
npm WARN unmet dependency /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/request/node_modules/form-data requires combined-stream@'~0.0.4' but will load
npm WARN unmet dependency undefined,
npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined
ionic@1.7.14 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic

Can someone help me to solve it, please ?

Thanks.

To answer your question, it;s the npm and nodejs version which is wrong. ( At least it was in my case )

I believe this has to do with the later added feature of scoped packages .

Update to a later version of node, I am not sure, if you are on ubuntu specifically or not, but for this purpose I was using ubuntu 14.x.

Remove all nodejs installs you might currently have :

sudo apt-get remove --purge nodejs

then you want to install node through the NVM package

You can search for a version you want via :

nvm ls-remote

For the ionic install I updated to : v0.12.10

nvm install 0.12.10

After this installs (It's also going to install/update npm for you)

You should see your latest version :

node -v

Should display : v.0.12.10 in this case.

You may then continue to install the ionic framework as instructed .

npm install -g ionic

Note: NVM also allows you to have concurrent installs of different node versions. Very handy for some legacy apps // services.
