Ionic setup issues on Windows 7 - node.js

I am trying to install Ionic on Windows 7 machine.
First, installed NodeJS 6.1.0, It went fine
Then, ran npm install -g cordova, Went fine
Then, ran npm install -g ionic, Got error related to Python.
Installed Python 2.7
Again, ran npm install -g ionic, Got error related to Microsoft .Net
Framework 2 SDK.
Updated npm to 3.8.9, Still getting error related to Microsoft .Net
Framework 2 SDK.
Are Python and Microsoft .Net SDK actually required? Nowhere I could find about this in the installation guides.

no python and .net SDK are not required
you need to download Android SDK in the case of developing for android.
you can download android studio and download SDK from SDK MANAGER or simply download android SDK. In my case, I download the android studio and then used the SDk manager to download the SDK's.
You can download it from here Android SDK
Also ou need to have JAVA jdk installed on your system and you have to set
PATH for both android sdk , java and nodejs
add PATH in system variables to environment variable
to
C:\Program Files\nodejs\
C:\Users**SystemName**\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools
C:\Users**SystemName**\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin
the above paths are according to my system. The SystemName may differ on your system else will be the same.
You also need to set User Variable jsut above your system variable:
ANDROID_HOME : C:\Users\SystemName\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk
JAVA_HOME : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79
you may also need to install gradle using nodejs command
and add its user variable and system variable
like
GRADLE_HOME :C:\Program Files\gradle-2.9
same in system variable(i.e PATH)
But first of all you need to download Node.js
I tried v6.0.1 but it is not compatible for ionic 2 for now, so you can download v4.4.x or v5.x from Node js site(sorry dont have 10 repo poits to post the third link) for now and later use v6.0.x
now using nodejs command prompt you need to install npm http://blog.npmjs.org/post/85484771375/how-to-install-npm
after installing npm
install ionic 2 and cordova using
npm install -g ionic#beta cordova
now Ionic is installed on your system.
To start a new project
ionic start Myproject --v2
and if you want to start a ionic project using typescript
ionic start Myproject --v2 --ts
Now give command
cd Myproject
to go to the directory of your project
after that, to test your app use
ionic serve

Installing Ionic - The term 'ionic' is not recognized

I am having trouble installing node.js and npm on my computer. I am running Windows 10 Pro x64, and using Windows Powershell (admin).
I am running node.js 9.10.1 and npm 5.8.0
Here's a screenshot of the error:
As you can see from the screenshot, I installed ionic cordova using the npm install -g ionic cordova command. (I don't know what the difference between that and npm install -g ionic is, though.)
I tried changing the windows PATH -thing, but I'm not sure if I did it correctly. (In the path-environment-variable I added a path to 'C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Local\npm' and one to 'Z:\Program\nodejs' where I installed node.js.)
Try using Roaming instead of Local. I think that installing with -g should go in Roaming.
C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\npm>

Perpetual NativeScript Mac Installation Issues

I could really use someone's help on this as I have been troubleshooting this for a really long time now with no remediation.
The issue is simply installing the NativeScript CLI onto my OSX Yosemite Mac. I followed the steps according to NS' website (installing proper Node.JS version, downloaded Xcode 7.2 (due to OS constraints), installed JSDK, installed NS Sidekick, installed Android Studio w/ proper SDK along with every other required dependancy.
However, when I run "sudo npm i -g nativescript --unsafe-perm" (otherwise it will throw a EACCES error), I get the following log with it saying I missing all of these dependencies I know I have but it is claiming I don't.
The biggest kick is that while it still will say NativeScript successfully installed, whenever I run any tns command (like tns doctor), the bash command cannot be found.
I have made sure to follow the directions of adding NS to my path as well as my Android and Java SDKs. Here is the full log:

What can I do to fix this? npm also declares "rollbackFailedOptional" every time I try to reinstall after I uninstall it. Is npm caching a broken version and can I force it to do a genuine "reinstall?" It has been so frustrating as everything looks messed up and I really don't want to give up on NS. Let me know your thoughts and thank you!
Begin by installing node.js correctly. I've you are having to you --unsafe-perm that means, the node.js installation is not done right.
I suggest you install nvm using homebrew and then install node from that. Please refer to my solution in this post https://discourse.nativescript.org/t/not-installing-on-macos/3292/4

Error while installing ionic framework

I have looked at the other questions and answers but still my issue is not solved.
I have successfully installed node.js
Node version: 0.12.7
NPM version: 2.11.3
Now when I install Cordova, there are some warnings but it does get installed.
After that when I try to install ionic, it shows all errors and doesn't install.
I am on a Windows machine... so I am not using the 'sudo' in the command.
I haven't also tried to install the JDK, Apache Ant and Android SDK. Are they needed while installing?
Please let me know if you want screenshots.
Thank you
In windows system there is no need to write sudo,we can use npm install -g ionic to install ionic framework
Steps to work Ionic Framework
1)you have to install nodeJS
2)you have to install Java and configure it's path in environmental variables.
3)you have to install Apache-ant
4)you have to install Android-sdk and configure it's path in environmental variables
for reference please see these links Install Ionic Framework, Ionic frameowrk on windows7,8
For any queries reply
Try running command prompt as an administrator before running the commands, that always fixed it for me.

Problems running the ripple emulator on Visual Studio 2013

I am trying to run the ripple emulator on Visual Studio, however I cannot seem to get pass the cannot find module './lib/plugin'error as follows:
C:\Users[user name]\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Cordova\Cordova>call "C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\"\nodevars.bat
Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 0.10.33 (ia32) and npm.
------ Ensuring correct global installation of package from source package directory: E:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\VISUAL STUDIO\COMMON7\IDE\EXTENSIONS\FUBXMEK2.O2B\packages\vs-mda
1>MDAVSCLI : error : Cannot find module './lib/plugin'
PS: The previous error I got was cannot find module 'q' however this was resolved by running npm install from CLI.
I am trying to create a Cordova application using Visual Studio. Any ideas how I can resolve the above error?
It seems something went wrong while installing vs-mda, you can try following to re-install:
Close Visual Studio
Open cmd
npm install -g [path to vs-mda example C:\Users[user-name]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-mda]
npm install -g [path to vs-mda-targets example C:\Users[user-name]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-mda-targets]
OR
Go to Tools --> Options --> Tools for Apache Cordova --> Cordova Tools --> Clear Cordova Cache
For the second method above (Clear Cordova Data) try running visual studio as administrator if it fails the first time around.

NPM - Can't install socket.IO

I am trying to install socket.io on windows with npm for use on a nodeJS server.
First, when I typed "npm install socket.IO" i had an error in the log saying something about python and node-gyp. I installed python 2.7.3 and set the environment variables.
Now I got a new error, which has something to do with visual studio (what the hell does VS have to do with npm ? Is it about the compiler? ).
The error is the same as here npm install for some packages (sqlite3, socket.io) fail with error MSB8020 on Windows 7
But when I use the option in the answer instead of the error it tells me something about a possible data loss (c4267) but doesn't log any error.
Then when I start my app, it tells me cannot find module socket.io still
What could this come from ?
Oh and also when i do npm config get root it tells me "undefined" could it have anything to do with it ?
Should I install the modules globally or locally ?
At least one of the packages in Socket.IO's dependency tree is a C/C++ addons which needs to be compiled on your system as it's installed. And, since it's a dependency, if it doesn't succeed in installing, neither will Socket.IO.
To enable cross-system compilation, Node.js uses node-gyp as its build system. You'll need to have it installed as a global package:
npm install -g node-gyp
As well as have its dependencies installed. Abridged version:
Python 2
C/C++ Compiler / Build Tools
For Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 (C++ or Windows Desktop) (Express edition)
For 64-bit, may need Windows 7 64-bit SDK
Then, you should be able to install Socket.IO as a local package so you can require it:
npm install socket.io
I had a similar problem on Mac.
What resolved my problem is installing a slightly older version of Socket.io.
I did:
npm install socket.io#"~0.8.1"
which would install the latest version between 0.8.0 to 0.8.9, but not 0.9.0 or above.
Socket.io then installed perfectly.
Make sure you have all the required software to run node-gyp:
https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp
You can configure version of Visual Studio used by gyp via an environment variable so you can avoid having to set the --msvs_version=2012 property.
Examples:
set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2012 for Visual Studio 2012
set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2013e (the 'e' stands for 'express edition')
For the full list see
- https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/v0.10.29/tools/gyp/pylib/gyp/MSVSVersion.py#L209-294
This is still painful for Windows users of NodeJS as it assumes you have a copy of Visual Studio installed and many end users will never have this. So I'm lobbying Joyent to the encourage them to include web sockets as part of CORE node and also to possible ship a GNU gcc compiler as part of NodeJS install so we can permanently fix this problem.
Feel free to add your vote at:
https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/8005#issuecomment-50545326
The problem causing the compile failure is that the ws module installed by the engine.io module required by socket.io pulls in a backlevel version of nan. See https://github.com/BrowserSync/grunt-browser-sync/issues/95 for details. To work around the problem after the build failure:
cd to node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/engine.io/node_modules/ws
edit package.json to change the release of nan from 1.4.x to 1.6.0
issue command node-gyp rebuild
You should now be able to use socket.io
Another approach is to use Docker for Windows and spin up a NodeJS environment. While developing you can mount your Node code as a Docker volume and so continue to update your code from Windows but execute it and install it's dependencies inside a Linux VM. When you deploy you might prefer to use a Dockerfile that COPY's your Node code into your Docker image and so bakes it into the release image you deploy.
This approach might be required if you don't want to risk changing the socket.io version of your code or its dependencies.
It also may be a valuable solution if you planned to deploy to a corporate Intranet or public/private Cloud.
Docker can also be very handy for testing deployment under different versions of Node without disturbing the development environment of your Windows computer (e.g. for testing a NodeJS lib).
Official NodeJS Docker images
An explanation of how to use these images
this problem makes me very troubled..
I tried many solutions.
I installed .NET Framework 2.0 SDK.
I installed Python 2.7.x
I installed VS 2012 Express
I set some paths
I executed npm install xxx with the argument --msvs_version=2010(or 2012/2013..)...
But all failed.
finally, I uninstalled Python & .NET Framework 2.0 SDK & VS 2012, clear those paths,enable Windows Update, install all essential updates, restart my computer
then execute commands below:
npm install node-gyp -g
npm install socket.io -g
npm install browser-sync -g
there is no errors in installation logs.
Note : this solution may not work for you, but for me
