Why can't NPM read my dependencies?

I'm trying to start a new ionic project. I got this far and I'm very proud of that. Though I'm halted at ionic setup sass. I was able to 'ionic platform android'

I think the problem lies in the open 'C:\Users\ALIR\package.json'

It should be looking in : 'C:\Users\ALIR\Documents\Ionic\tutorials\test'

Also this line is concerning: '"C:\Program Files\nodejs\\node.exe" "C:\Program Files\nod ejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js"' All of these slashes sem inappropiate.

C:\Users\ALIR\Documents\Ionic\tutorials\test>ionic setup sass
