You still run NPM >= 5! Downgrade to npm 4 or 3 by running npm install -g npm@4.6.1. Then remove your node_modules folder and run npm install again.

Trust me, that is the problem 😉 I already fixed the outdated dependencies in the ionic-app-scripts repo. Wait for the next release and you will be able to use NPM 5 and ionic

it has been 4 months. Is ionic npm >= 5 ready yet?

Downgrade back to Node 6.10.3 and npm >=5. Ionic is not npm5 ready
