hey guys,
i ran into update issues (as I am doing so often) and I thought it would be a wise idea to start fresh with an ionic starter app.
so I did ionic start and chose angular and the my-first-app
after everything went through I did
npm update (to see if that would work with a blank new starter)
and it crashed

expectation:
a brand new starter app should not run into an npm update error (whatsoever)
Aside my expectation, I realise that I might just be to bold or naive here, so if anyone has a hint on where to learn how to avoid these topics I would be most grateful. I guess I am not really getting the topic dependency management that deep 
currently with my working apps I already try to not update anything because in 99% of my tries it always breaks everything
there must be a better way - at least I hope
