This has nothing to do with ionic.

You need to update to the latest version of node.js and that should take care of the error. See this similar issue on the joi node module.

I was able to fix it using:

1) Clear NPM's cache:

sudo npm cache clean -f

2) Install a little helper called 'n'

sudo npm install -g n

3) Install latest stable NodeJS version

sudo n stable
