Question

I have been racking my brain on this for a while now. I am developing an Android app on Windows 7 in Cordova 3.4 and I can\'t get any of t

Answer 1

On my machine the issue was, that git wasn't available in the cmd in windows. Open cmd and type "git" and press enter. If there is shown, that the command is not available, then you might have the same issue.

Solution:

Find out where your git.exe is located. For me it was a custom path in "D:\Program Files\Git\bin". Then search in windows for "environment variables" and open the link to the shown windows settings.

Find the entry "Path" and click on "edit". Add the path to the git.exe file (without "git.exe"). Restart cmd and type "git".

If that was the only issue the installation of cordova plugins over git should work.
