when install PhoneGap 3.X using npm, recieve some Errors, like (image below):
note: I NodeJS already installed
Try installing older version:
npm install -g phonegap#3.4
However if you want to install latest version. Follow steps suggested in this post.
Download the zip of phonegap-cli repo (https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-cli/archive/master.zip)
Unzip it
Open the package.json file and find the cordova-lib entry in dependencies (line 32)
Change the value to 0.21.3 which is the last version.
Recreate an archive of the folder to the tar.gz format
Open your CLI and run this command:
npm install -g path/to/archive/phonegap-cli-master.tar.gz
You can add the version number while installing. For instance:
npm install -g phonegap#3.4
Hope, this will help you.

I am using Ionic 3. Right now I'm trying to do ionic cordova build android , but I get TypeError: env.runcmd is not a function (please see the photo attached).
I tried to:
-> ionic cordova platform rm android then ionic cordova platform add android then again build android again
-> delete node_modules folder and do npm install then build android again
But none of them helped it...
My ionic info output:
Just use command 'cordova run android' instead of 'ionic cordova run android'.
Okay, guys, the problem was exactly with cordova version. I haven't noticed when it did update to the version 7.0.1. However, I had to downgrade it to version 6.5.0 and then android build succeeded.
The only thing that confused me was the downgrade process. Every time I did sudo npm uninstall cordova -g, the cordova command was still available at bash. If I would do sudo npm install cordova#6.5.0 -g, the version still remained 7.0.1. Even some other commands such as ... --save --save-exact ... did NOT work.
So below are the steps which I've gone through to solve this issue (I am using Ubuntu linux, so this will work for linux users only).
First I uninstalled cordova through npm
sudo npm uninstall cordova -g
Then removed the program from local bin
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/cordova
Installed the specific version of cordova
sudo npm install cordova#6.5.0 -g (or whatever version you want)
And lastly, I have to admit that after cordova installation, it was now located at /usr/bin/cordova, no more at /usr/local/bin/cordova, so I had to create a hard link to it.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/cordova /usr/bin/cordova
Voilà!
I have cordova installed in my npm folder. After cd Project_name in command line and tying cordova add platform i am getting an error
"Cordova is not recognized as internal or external command"
. I don't know what is wrong is here. I followed each step given on cordova documnentation. Below is a screenshot of the error
First check everything you have installed:
node - v
cordova -v
if these are not installed then, install it first.
Download and install NodeJS from here: https://nodejs.org/en/
Then check again node -v
If you have installed node successfully then install cordova.
npm install -g cordova
and then check cordova -v
I suggest that you will take a tour of getting started with cordova: http://cordova.apache.org/#getstarted
Try reinstalling the cordova using:
npm install -g cordova
After this you will able to add the platform.
I think you haven't set Environment Variable for the node JS.
Please follow steps which are provided in this link.
delete "platform" folder
Try add re-platform :
npm install -g cordova
or
Try reinstalling the cordova using:
npm install -g cordova
The Below steps helped me out:
Install Cordova using: npm install -g cordova
Check if Cordova is installed: To check go to "C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules" and search for Cordova folder. If it does not exists then in CMD run 'npm install -g cordova' to install cordova or reinstall npm and run 'npm install -g cordova'.
Environment variable PATH Exists: To check go to Environment variable (My Computer OR My PC > Right Click > Properties > Advance System Settings > Environemnts Variable button)
add
%appdata%\npm\ or c:\users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\npm
(replace YourUserName with the name of your user profile) to System Variable's PATH
Below are the screenshots step by step actions on Environment PATH.
I allready searched for solutions but couldn't find anything that works.
I'm trying to build / run apk with cordova but the emulator (and also my phone) won't start the app and fail on installation.
I tried to re-create the projet and re-install cordova but have this issue :
Error: Cannot find module
'C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cordova\bin\cordova'
I also tried to do :
npm cache clean
Nothing is working, can someone help me please ?
Thank you !
I encountered the similar situation, here is the error information:
module.js:471
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cordova\bin\cordova'

at startup (bootstrap_node.js:149:9)

It happened after I upgraded my cordova with the command:
npm install cordova -g
Even when I ran the "cordova" command solely, same error I could get.
Finally solved by reinstall the cordova completely :
npm uninstall cordova -g
then
npm install cordova -g
In my case solved by removing and adding platform android again
cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android
I know, this question is kinda old but I got the same problem and I "by-pass" it with this method.
(SOLVED) Error: Cannot find module 'C:...\node_modules\cordova\bin\cordova' #3301
Actually, using ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.0
first of all, check the JRE installation on your computer, if is ok, follow this steps
ionic serve
cordova clean android (or IOS)
rm -rf node_modules (just delete node_modules folder)
npm install
cordova build android (without ionic)
It will add plugins to your project and also will compile it to an APK.
EDIT:
Just create another project, copy the "src" folder to the new one and ready to go!
You just need to run these commands
npm uninstall -g cordova
npm install -g cordova#latest
Above commands are already answered but removing android and adding it again is important
and then these :
cordova platform rm android/ios/browser
cordova platform add android/ios/browser
Worked for me, hope it help others.
Follow these Steps:
npm uninstall -g cordova
npm install -g cordova#latest
I followed this tutorial with the exception that I installed the current versions of the listed tools. after I installed node.js I executed npm install -g phonegap but I could not find cordova.jar.
Should I download the archive phonegap1.5 and copy the files from the downloaded folder?
Because you not in administrator mode. What you can do is
Windows
Right click the CMD and choose Run as Administrator. Then run npm install -g phonegap.
Mac
sudo npm install -g phonegap
UPDATE 1:
This was everything I did in the end:
sudo aptitude install -y python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install nodejs
sudo aptitude install npm
sudo npm install -g cordova
sudo npm install -g phonegap
phonegap create my-app
cd my-app
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/oshirowanen/Downloads/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030/sdk/platform-tools:/home/oshirowanen/Downloads/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030/sdk/tools
sudo aptitude install ant
cordova platform add android
android create avd --name my_and --target 1
phonegap run android
Was any of that not neccessary?
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
On my Ubuntu 12.04 computer, I've just installed node.js with npm and cordova:
$ node -v
v0.10.23
$ npm -v
1.3.17
$ cordova -v
3.3.0-0.1.1
When I try to add android:
$ cordova platform add android
I get the following output:

Anyone know why this is happening and how to resolve it?
I get the same issue with PhoneGap.
It's possible that the Android tools binaries are not in your path.
According to the PhoneGap docs (http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.9.0/guide_getting-started_android_index.md.html), you need to include the Android SDK's tools and platform-tools in your PATH environment variable.
export PATH=${PATH}:/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/platform-tools:/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/tools
where Development is the path you installed your SDK.
Run the "android" command from your adt\sdk\tools folder and install the latest Tools and SDK. Also make sure your PATH has the right variables.
For this you will need ANT to be installed , a JAVA JDK and an Android SDK installed
JAVA_HOME (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk)
ANT_HOME ({ant location}\apache\apache-ant)
ANDROID_HOME ({android sdk location}\android-sdk)
Add these to your PATH variable like %ANT_HOME%/bin;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
Close and re-open your cmd and run your command again.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and was having the same problem as you until a few minutes ago.
The two things I've noted that I had missed during installation:
The Android version should be 19 and you should be able to type 'android' at the console and see some output or see a window pop-up. Make sure that you add the path to the folder where android.jar is located to your PATH variable, and set ANDROID_HOME to that same path as well. Typically, you would do this in your .bashrc file or in /etc/environment If you edit either of these files, you'll need to either 'source ~/.bashrc' or reopen your terminal to force it to reload the file. Type 'android' to make sure its working.
I observed that the cordova setup script was attempting to write files into a subdirectory 'add-ons' of the Android SDK. That directory does not exist in the Android 19 distribution itself. Consequently, I created it manually and made it writeable by my user account.
ex: Android distribution path:
/opt/android/
The path that its trying to write to:
/opt/android/sdk/add-ons
Once I had done that I was able to get past the problem you've noted above.
It looks like the cordova andorid library file corrupted in your home directory.
Try to remove home//.cordova directory and do this again cordova platform add android in your cordova project.
Make sure you have sourced /platform-tools and /tools to PATH.
Android
The Android command-line tools are built upon shell scripts. You must have the Android SDK's tools and platform-tools folders in your PATH!
Create a project
Run the create command with the following parameters:
Path to your new Cordova Android project
Package name, following reverse-domain style convention
Main Activity name
$ /path/to/cordova-android/bin/create /path/to/my_new_cordova_project com.example.cordova_project_name CordovaProjectName
It looks like this error could also be caused by the absence of a compatible Android SDK version (at the moment 4.2).
I use cordova.
2days I have same problem"java,ant,android,cordova,command test is ok,
but run cordova platform add android show me Error: An error occurred while listing Android targets".
Now I fixit use:
"chmod 777 ant and android sdk place"
,then it will work.
I use ubuntu 14.04 32bit,
if the problem still exist please make sure that you have the right permissions try
sudo chmo-R 777 /home/your-user-name/.cordova/
Also make sure that you are NOT using sudo to add Android as a platform
This is incorrect in the default Cordova installation
sudo cordova platform add android
Just do
cordova platform add android
I've searched a lot for this, and what worked for me was setting the shell variable $ANDROID_HOME to the path of the sdk/ folder in my adt-bundle directory from android. Use export to do this:
export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/YOUR_USER/Developer/adt-bundle/sdk/"
but be sure to change the directory to match yours.
Good Luck!
Not sure if someone else had a problem with this, but when removed and added my platform again, I realized in my config.xml I had <icon src='...'> and the path inside the src was wrong.
Here was the error output I received when I added the platform again:cp: no such file or directory: C:\Users\{pathtofile}.png.
After I fixed the path, it worked fine.
It can be that your cordova installation have been corrupted try to remove your .cordova folder "rm -R ~/.cordova"
And "run cordova platform add android" again
