Unable to add plugins. Perhaps your version of Cordova is too old. Try updating (npm install -g cordova), removing this project folder, and trying again.

in another topic here, i read that you can go to the folder of the app just created and execute this instruction so i did that

cristian@Crstn:~$ cd myApp

if you using mac. you should be add your adt-bundle(Android SDK) to your PATH. add to .bash_profile.
if you using linux/ubuntu add/edit to .bashrc
if all done. try to install Ant(Apache_ant). in mac use homebrew with command brew install ant

check this documentation Cordova/phonegab docs

here is a tutorial to install cordova properly
