Cordova cannot run on the latest version of Node because it actually requires v10.x of Node. So, here is how I avoided the "Warning: unmet dependency" when installing Cordova:

  1. > npm uninstall -g cordova

  2. Use n (nvm for Windows) to downgrade an older version of Node (Windows users will need to downgrade and use):

    > n 0.10.40

  3. > npm cache clean

  4. > npm install -g cordova

If you want to install Ionic, then in step 4, call the npm command to directly install ionic (with no @latest) instead of cordova, like this:

  1. > npm install -g ionic

Note: Linux / OSX users may need to prepend the npm commands with "sudo".
