Hello guys, I’m trying to install the [keyboard plugin](https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/keyboard/) but when I do `ionic cordova plugin add ionic-plugin-keyboard` I get the following error: ```auto Failed to install 'ionic-plugin-keyboard': CordovaError: Uh oh!

That means you have keyboard installed already. Check if you have both keyboard plugins. ionic-plugin-keyboard and cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard. If so remove one. ---
