Have you followed the right installation sequence ?

Install or update Node.js

Download the most recent version of Node.js. If you are running an older version of Node, make sure to update it because older versions had issues with npm.

As with the other commands, nodejs should now function in cmd.exe but just to be careful, add the full path to the bin folder in Node to your PATH, which will look something like C:\Program Files\nodejs\bin

Install Cordova

Open a new cmd.exe window, and run:

$ npm install -g cordova

Install Ionic

$ npm install -g ionic

Find the official installation doc and this too for more.
