gradle.jar error is mostly occurs because of unsuccessful installtion of cordova, or it is break some where while installing it

So try uninstall cordova by the below command and again intall it

npm uninstall -g cordova

Make sure there are lots of problem with Cordova version 6.4.0 so install specific version

npm install -g [email protected] // 6.2.0 is still working fine

Then install ionic again

npm install -g ionic

See my answer here for Cordova version problems.

Also let me know if this is(gradle error solution) working for you or not.
