I get the “error: cannot find module ‘../lib/utils/unsupported.js’” issue when trying to run “Ionic start project name”. Here is the detail of the error I got the error message:

Running command - failed![ERROR] An error occurred while running npm install (exit code 1):
 
  module.js:471
  throw err;
  ^

    The cause:

    This error occurs due to the library  isn’t supported, so you will not able to load it.

    Solution:

    Let’s reinstall node and remove /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm to solve this error. This will work fine.

    If your MacOS is with Homebrew, below guggestion will help you.

    sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
brew reinstall node

  2. I followed the instructions and reinstalled my node. This error occurred to me.

    Warning! The post-install process failed. You can try again with brew postinstall node

    This command was executed. 

    sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/

    Then, he ran 

    brew postinstall node
