I just updated my cordova trying to add new platform plugin gives error,

Using cordova-fetch for cordova-android@6.2.3
Error: Failed to fetch platform cordova-android@6.2.3
Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.
Error: cmd: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:

mand,
operable program or batch file.

My advice: Get rid of your local nodejs installation and install https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows. Then install node again via this. Will be much more stable and easier to upgrade etc. Then this problem should also go away.
