After spending more than day i came across many solutions, which are as follow

Some developers solve this problem by, i downgraded node from v8 to v7.6.0 and all seems to work fine with ionic CLI. From Here but this solution not work for me.
Run Command Line as Administrative, this solution is beneficial
The Correct and well solution work for me, is to install install all node-gyp dependencies by following command
```
 $ npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
```
and then install the package
```
 $ npm install --global node-gyp
```

Please follow the simple procedure to solve this issue:

Delete

(1)npm and

(2)npm-cache

folders manually. [You can find it in => %AppData%/npm-cache on Windows.]

Uninstall the Node.Js application in Programs and Features in Windows-OS.
Restart the System.
Once again re-install Node.Js in your system, perfectly.
open terminal anywhere (preferably from Desktop) and run

node --version

and check it is latest version.

Run

npm --version

and check it is latest version.

Run

git--version

and check it is latest version.

Run

npm install -g ionic

Finally Run,

ionic start myApp tabs

Here ==>>wait for more time (8-10 mins)<<== until all the ionic files to be downloaded, install and create a new ionic app in the given name.

Finally, a new ionic project will be created.
Go to the project folder of that particular ionic project and Run

ionic serve

The project will run in Browser.

All the best, Devs ..!!!

I was facing same problem. So, I installed my node module using yarn instead of npm. And it worked for me. Try it using [Yarn][1]

You can try it and check.

Thank You.

Try running 'npm i' command in the project directory in sudo mode or administrator mode. This worked for me.
