Answer 1

I was having same problem on Windows 8 (64 bit)

Solution:

Don't forget to install other dependencies before installing ionic http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/installation.html

1) Uninstall Node from Control Panel

2) Restart PC

3) Download (MSI Installer) older version of Node from http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.38/ or 64bit http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.38/x64/

4) Install Node version 0.10.38

5) npm install -g cordova

6) npm install -g ionic

Done!
