I am unable to install ionic through npm. Are there any logs that I can check to see what's wrong and if yes, where are they located?

What I see is the waiting stick dancing forever. I've waited for an hour or so but nothing changes.

Append this to the command --loglevel verbose and all logs will be shown on STDERR and saved to npm-debug.log in current working directory.

like npm install ionic --loglevel verbose

It will show the logs in realtime + saves the log to directory its running.

For permanent solution , Just edit npm config npm config edit

and add loglevel=verbose

now every npm command will show detailed logs.
