Cant install ionic framework - Dependency error

Question

I am trying to install ionic framework on my Ubuntu 14.04 Linux system. I already installed the nodejs,npm,cordova. I use the command 'npm install -g ionic' in my terminal and everytime I get the following error

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/ionic
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/ionic
npm WARN unmet dependency /home/dineshadhithya/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/connect/node_modules/finalhandler requires debug@'1.0.4' but will load
npm WARN unmet dependency undefined,
npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined
npm WARN unmet dependency /home/dineshadhithya/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/request/node_modules/    form-data requires combined-stream@'~0.0.4' but will load
npm WARN unmet dependency undefined,
npm WARN unmet dependency which is version undefined
ionic@1.7.14 node_modules/ionic

Have you tried using `sudo npm install -g ionic`? Also, are you sure `Ionic`is not installed because these are just warnings — Greg, May 18 '16 at 08:24
After the commanf 'sudo npm install -g ionic', I checked if Ionic is correctly installed, I used 'ionic --version' command, it didn't return anything — Dinesh Adhithya, May 18 '16 at 08:39

This seemed to have solved the problem for many: Why does npm install say I have unmet dependencies?

remove node_modules using rm -rf node_modules/
run npm cache clean

Does it take long time for ionic to get installed?? Because the terminal seems to have struck in the middle of the process. – Dinesh Adhithya May 18 '16 at 09:34
Normally it shouldn't. Are you installing behind a proxy? – Greg May 18 '16 at 09:49
