title: Ionic - Cordova CLI not installed
body: <p>Ionic related - I can’t seem to run any of my applications in IOS or Android Simulator as the Cordova CLI will not install. </p>
  
  <p>From reading , it seems it has to do with my upgrade of Node.JS and/or NPM, I believe. But information on it, is not definitive. I’ve been on it for days, and got nowhere. I've attempted all suggestions. Uninstallation's, deletion of hidden files, installations of different stable versions, clearing of cache. Nothing has worked.</p>
  
  <p>My details when I type ionic info are              </p>
  
  <pre><code>Cordova CLI: Not installed
  
  Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.12  
  
  Ionic App Lib Version: 0.6.5
  
  ios-deploy version: Not installed
  
  ios-sim version:Not installed  
  
  OS: Mac OS X El Capitan  
  
  Node Version: v4.2.3  
  
  Xcode version: Xcode 7.2 Build version 7C68
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I install cordova <code>sudo npm install -g cordova</code>. It does not fix the above issue. It still stays uninstalled.</p>
  
  <p>I have used this link below to attempt a clean slate without any node.js on my system.</p>
