Get error following the get start procedure

  1. following the get-start procedure, when i run “ionic start ionicApp blank”, get error “Unable to add plugins. Perhaps your version of Cordova is too old”

  2. then change dir to the ionicApp and run “cordova plugin add” to add plugin manually.
    cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-device.git
    cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-console.git

  3. then run “ionic platform add android”, but get error “Cannot find module ‘readable-stream/transform’”
