Per: Get started with Ionic (Install with CLI tab):

This is kind of a shitty guide. They say, in a very blasé/sanguine tone:

First, install Node.js. Then, install the latest Ionic command-line tools in your terminal. Follow the Android and iOS platform guides to install required tools for development.

The first seems easy. But it's easy to mess yourself up. If you go to the Node.js project site, it'll confidently suggest a download for you, with no hesitation whatsoever. It looks straightforward, but it's really a tarball that unpacks into a tree you end up dumping somewhere, with headers, libs, and even executable in a ./bin subdirectory. If you slap that into place, you are going to get bitten in the foot when it's time to upgrade in the future.

  1. My recommendation: Don't install the binary distribution auto-suggested straight from the main page. Do, however, note that latest stable LTS version number.
  2. Instead, go the the download page...
  3. Then. scroll down & look for the link: Installing Node.js via package manager
  4. Once there, look for the package management installation pipeline appropriate for your platform. I run Linut Mint 19, so I went with the standard: Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distribution...
  5. This lets you know that the Official Node.js binary distributions are provided by NodeSource. That ain't obscure at all, right?

  6. For my install on my platform, the straight-up Debian/Ubuntu-based installation instructions are (jeez, finally!) presented here...

Verify w/:

$ node --version
v10.16.3
$ npm --version
6.9.0
$ ionic --version
5.2.5

The next two... not so much. We'll pick them up in separate task issues:

Before we deal those, we note that our versions are woefully out of date. The process for upgrading Node is a little different than the normal apt-get update cycle or running a(re)installer. We'll deal with that in this issue:
