How to install Ionic on Mac

Go to http://nodejs.org/en
Download the npm
Install the npm

Go to terminal and type the following command in order to test the installation
$ npm version

Now, type in the terminal the following commands in order to install cordova and ionic
$ sudo su (probably you will need to type your password)
$ npm install -g cordova ionic
$ npm install -g bower
$ npm install -g ios-sim
$ exit
$ ionic version (if a popup shows up asking for installing something, say yes)

if you already have an ionic project, go to the folder project, or create a new project:

$ ionic start myApp tabs

Go to the folder project and run these commands:
$ bower update
$ npm install
$ ionic platform add ios
$ ionic build ios
$ ionic emulate ios

That's it :)
