Install Cordova plugin without package.json file on it

Question

I\'m trying to install a Cordova Plugin with Cordova CLI 7.

This plugin does not have a package.json file on it, so it throws an error when adding it to my project.<

Answer 1

--nofetch option is removed in Cordova 8.0.0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13055

If you have already installed Cordova 8.x.x then you can downgrade it to version 7.1.0 and then use the --nofetch option.

Run the following command to downgrade Cordova to 7.1.0:

npm install -g cordova@7.1.0

If the above command doesn't work, then try uninstalling cordova at first and then install cordova version 7.1.0:

npm uninstall -g cordova
npm install -g cordova@7.1.0

Then, check the Cordova version:

cordova --version
