Something may have changed regarding the installation of newer Ionic/Cordova versions via Node/NPM, as reiterated in this Cordova bug tracker issue thread.

As @TechSpellBound suggests, you could prefix all ionic command line calls with 'sudo'. I took some alternative advice from the bug tracker post and simply changed the owner and group of the 'tmp' folder to my own user/group and not 'root:root', as it seemed to be, previously:

sudo chown -R someuser:somegroup /home/someuser/tmp

My group name was the same as my user name, so, assuming a similar setup on your machine, issue:

sudo chown -R gsakhardande:gsakhardande /home/gsakhardande/tmp
