I am trying to upgrade Ionic to the latest version. Looking here, it shows that the latest version is 3.0.0. I also follow this tutorial.

So I do the following:

sudo npm uninstall -g ionic
sudo npm install -g ionic@latest

console:

Richards-MacBook-Pro:theWhoZoo richardmarais$ sudo npm install -g ionic
Password:
/Users/richardmarais/npm-global/bin/ionic -> /Users/richardmarais/npm-global/lib/node_modules/ionic/bin/ionic
/Users/richardmarais/npm-global/lib
└── ionic@3.0.0

But when I run:

ionic -v

I get:

2.1.18

and:

ionic info

I get:

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 6.4.0 
Ionic Framework Version: 3.1.1
Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.18
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.9
Ionic App Scripts Version: 1.3.0
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: Not installed
OS: macOS Sierra
Node Version: v7.10.0
Xcode version: Xcode 8.3.2 Build version 8E2002

I would expect it to update the Ionic CLI Version: 2.1.18 to 3.0.0. Is that a correct assumption? If so, do you know what I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks

I simple run 

$ ionic --version
$ 4.2.1
$ sudo npm i -g ionic@latest 
$ ionic --version
$ 4.8.0

I would start trying the simple things before.

I just ran...

npm --version

Then, the answer was...

4.6.0
   ╭──────────────────────────────────────╮
   │                                      │
   │   Update available 4.6.0 → 4.12.0    │
   │     Run npm i -g ionic to update     │
   │                                      │
   ╰──────────────────────────────────────╯

So, I did...

npm i -g ionic to update

After that...

npm --version
6.5.0
