I can not install any plugins at all, here’s the output:

Update your Ionic CLI, Remove all existing Cordova plugins, update cordova, add those plugins again

Remove Platform and add it again

Your Cordova CLI install seems to be very old, the plugins have not been hosted on cordova.io for some time: http://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2015/04/21/plugins-release-and-move-to-npm.html

I did all three things you guys said, and it’s fixed. (I don’t know which one fixed it, pretty sure updating did)

I had some problems updating, I fixed the npm error and updated.
