I am trying to get this installed and I get the following error when installing cordova using the instructions provided:

D:\source\bfc\dev_env>nodevars.bat

Has anyone seen this?

I haven’t seen this before, well not that I can remember, but you install cordova command seems to be wrong. Try npm install -g cordova

3

Try npm rebuild -g

THat happened to me. I just downloaded another of the templates.

I get the same result. This is so strange. No reason why it won’t work. I am not doing anything weird.

So I got it to work:
npm uninstall -g npm-check-updates
npm install -g npm-check-updates
npm cache clean
npm install readable-stream -g
npm uninstall cordova
npm uninstall cordova -g
npm cache clean
npm install -g cordova
