Cygwin isn't supported by the Nodejs. There are some stories that it may work, but save yourself the trouble and use the windows build of Nodejs if you want Ionic in a windows environment.

Sorry @antoniosap but @robkorv is correct - https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwin-(Windows).

Highly recommend using the Windows build instead of cygwin.
