i'm trying to install ionic framework but i keep getting an error when i run "npm install -g ionic".

That's the error:

npm ERR! Error: No compatible version found: colors@'^0.6.2' npm ERR! Valid install targets: npm ERR! ["0.3.0","0.5.0","0.5.1","0.6.0","0.6.0-1","0.6.1","0.6.2"] npm ERR!

If you need help, you may report this log at: npm ERR!
http://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues npm ERR! or email it to: npm ERR!

I already updatet node and cleared the cache.

Any idea?

It works for me with node v0.10.26. What version of node are you using? – mscdex
Try upgrading to v0.10.26 (that should upgrade npm also) and see if that helps. – mscdex
