Codova-plugin-camera install problem

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

run:

ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-camera

the cordova-plugin-camera is in the directory plugins
but when i refer to the doc of the camera api.
it should be in #@ionic-native/camera#.
then when i run:

npm install --save @ionic-native/camera

there is no camera under node_modules/@ionic-native

Update:
After 20 minutes from the washing room, i ran:

ionic plugin -rm cordova-plugin-camera -f

there is a camera folder under node_modules/@ionic-native.
why use -f ? if i am not use -f, it will remind me the cordova-plugin-file got some relationship with it.

THAT IS ALL.

Update:
the same happened to @ionic-native/file, i can’t use it after i force remove the cordova-plugin-file it is normal.

Normally these three steps are enough. First two:

$ ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-camera
$ npm install --save @ionic-native/camera

http://ionicframework.com/docs/native/camera/

And this one:

I think you might be confusing some things:

There are two things being installed: The Ionic Native “wrapper” and the Cordova plugin. You need both for it to work.
