I want to install ionic2, I've already installed node.js (v6.10) and android sdk.

When I run

npm install -g ionic cordova

I get this error:

What operating system are you installling to? If on Mac or Ubuntu you must use sudo before npm install -g cordova ionic. Its possiby a permissions error - yaboiduke
@yaboiduke it's Mac sudo didn't solve my issue, I'm gonna uninstall node and re-install with homebrew - Ege Kuzubasioglu

re-installing node via homebrew fixed the issue:

npm cache clean 
brew uninstall --force node
rm -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules
brew install node

For everyone getting this kind of errors on Mac and Linux, please install the NodeJS through NVM https://github.com/creationix/nvm

It's not a good idea to sudo npm
