$ npm install -g ionic
npm WARN deprecated superagent@4.1.0: Please note that v5.0.1+ of superagent removes User-Agent header by default, therefore you may need to add it yourself (e.g. GitHub blocks requests without a User-Agent header). This notice will go away with v5.0.2+ once it is released.

+ ionic@5.4.13
added 33 packages from 22 contributors, removed 18 packages, updated 67 packages and moved 1 package in 10.198sI'm guessing I can ignore the WARN above & press on?
Some Qs (for a veteran):
- Was
sudo-ing my way out of this not a great thing to do? - Should I not have installed Node.js/npm (way back whenever I did it) with what likely was a
sudo-ish approach (which I probably had to to create dirs in places like/usr/lib)?$ sudo apt-get installapproaches would seem to lag way behind the LTS version(s).
- Is there any more "modern" approach based on
Docker, etc?

Following the steps in the "official" guide: Get started with Ionic
Note that no IDE is required to finish this exercise.
Let's just make sure we're ready first, and we have a good place to work...
This is kind of a shitty guide. They say, in a very blasรฉ/sanguine tone...
They don't bother to mention that these platform guides (from Apache Cordova) lead into pretty significant complexities around tool & component & workflow configuration.
We'll fix that later -- with much better content from other folks.
Let's just see what we run into below...
