Hey,
There are a few ways to download the source files.
The ionic npm package is for the Ionic CLI. You are looking for the ionic-sdk npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ionic-sdk
Some other ways:
You can download (or link to) the files directly from here: http://code.ionicframework.com/
They are available on our github: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic
The "Manual Start" section of the README goes through some other ways to install. The release directory has the files you are interested in: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/tree/master/releaseAs planetoftheapes said, you can create a new Ionic app using the
ionic startcommand from the CLI and it will put the files you need in thelibdirectory, and include them for you in the main html file.
If you'd like to go with the last option, take a look at our "Getting Started" docs: http://ionicframework.com/getting-started/
Sorry for any confusion. Let me know if you have any questions!
