Can't add cordova plugin

Hi guys…I have tried to add cordova plugin like
cordova plugin add https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard.git
But it shows some error like

( Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
Error: npm: Command failed with exit code 235 Error output:

What does it means?Please help me

Please edit your post and use the </> button above the post input field to format your code or error message or wrap it in ``` (“code fences”) manually. This will make sure your text is readable and if it recognizes the programming language it also automatically adds code syntax highlighting. Thanks.

Cordova plugins need a package.json now. Fork the plugin, add one (look at others what is needed in there) and install your fork.

Update: Actually, see here for a PR that does exactly this and another repo that fixes the problem alltogether: https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard/pull/27

Alternatively, add sudo and see if it works.

That is bad advise and won’t help at all.
