Hello guys,

Recently i needed to integrate Google analytics and Push notification plugin into my ionic app. But whenever i try to add these plugin i get error on adding them like below:

```

What does ‘$ ionic info’ return?

How did you ‘add’ the plugins?

```
$ ionic plugin add org.apache.cordova.geolocation

```

Did you install the ngCordova project using Bower?

$ bower install --save ngCordova

Ionic info return:

```
Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 5.1.1
Ionic CLI Version: 1.4.5
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.0.22
OS: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.10 
Node Version: v0.10.25

```

And i didn’t install ngCordova using bower instead i just downloaded the zip package from its Github repo and added the ngCordova.min.js into **index.html** file and mention ngCordova as dependency in **app.js** file.

And i’m installing plugins like `cordova plugin add "plugin-name"`

Ansd i think ngCordova is fine as toast and vibrate plugin is working absolutely fine. The error is with only Google analytics and Push notification plugin only.

Thanks
