Required Software

Node Package Manager (npm)

The Node package manager is the core software that will enable you to install the Ionic framework along with Cordova. Ionic is essentially a module of npm - npm is the default package manager for the JavaScript runtime environment Node.js. It gets installed automatically when you install Node.js. Hence, to install npm, you need to install Node.js.

Angular CLI

You use the Angular CLI to create projects, generate application and library code, and perform a variety of ongoing development tasks such as testing, bundling, and deployment.

Ionic CLI & Apache Cordova

Ionic apps are created and developed primarily through the Ionic CLI, and use Cordova to build and deploy on the app store as a native app. Apache Cordova takes our app and bundles it into a native wrapper to turn it into a traditional native app.

IDE

Any IDE that supports Ionic will suffice in allowing the user to run the application. Such IDEs include Visual Studio Code and Atom.
