As the error message says:

Check your connection

Are you behind a corporate proxy?

Downgraded from Node 8 to Node 6 (as suggested here: katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#1329) and cordova was able to add android. Still ran into some difficulties with old plugins whose repos lacked package.json files, so had to hunt down forks of those plugins that're maintained / have a package.json file.

marcelodeandrade · 2017-06-28T12:30:12Z

@toddmedema Thank you for the information.

pkitatta · 2017-07-17T01:09:47Z

Hi,
What was the solution here?

@dwieeb @jgw96 What effect does the proxy have and how do you go around it?

@Jumong you must open windows environment variables and add to path = "C:\Windows\System32" in system variables

jln1989 · 2017-08-22T06:52:11Z

Am having the same issue now and adding "C:\Windows\System32" did not resolve my issue. Any help here would be great.

My Ionic Info command returns the below:

@ionic/cli-utils  : 1.9.2
ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.9.2

global packages:

Cordova CLI : 7.0.1

local packages:

@ionic/app-scripts : 2.1.3

System:

Node : v6.11.0

OS   : Windows 10

Daym3l · 2017-08-22T13:54:39Z

i have the same error..
I add C:\Windows\System32, but the same error

madsongr · 2017-08-22T18:15:54Z

@jln1989 @Daym3l did you try to open windows cmd again? Every change on system environment variables requires to close cmd and open it again.

madsongr · 2017-08-23T19:17:40Z

@jln1989 is it working now?

Daym3l · 2017-08-24T13:56:55Z

@madsongr yes thank you

Ivan-Perez · 2017-08-25T12:47:29Z

I downgraded npm to version 3.10.0 and it worked again. Previously I had npm 5.4.0.

xydxdy · 2017-08-29T10:12:48Z

I have C:\Windows\System32 already, but I still have this problem.
ps. npm vsersion 3.10.10 and node version 6.11.0

Daym3l · 2017-08-29T14:23:20Z

@topphon try update to node 8.4.0, work for me...

VovanSuper · 2017-08-29T14:38:41Z

Well, generally adding System32 folder to path helps; also somehow only powershell running as administartor resolves different EPERM issues (when building Ionic 3 apps)

madsongr · 2017-08-30T00:03:28Z

@topphon follow the steps from this link http://ionicframework.com/docs/v1/guide/installation.html and pay attention on red links for windows/linux

jln1989 · 2017-08-30T04:51:31Z

@madsongr : Apologies for not getting back early. My issue got resolved yesterday after reinstalling NPM and running the CMD as administrator. Thanks for the help.

luckylooke · 2017-09-06T06:59:08Z

For me it was a typo.. andorid instead of android 🤦‍♂️

crlang44 · 2017-09-13T20:03:34Z

I had this same issue, adding the C:\Windows\System32 did not work for me, and I was already running it as admin. I finally got it to work but downgrading my npm to 3.10.0.

JayanthkumarJK · 2017-09-14T12:58:59Z

Same issue i am encontering in Linux system how to solve this...???

crlang44 · 2017-09-14T20:54:35Z

@JayanthkumarJK what version of node and npm are you running? May have to upgrade node to 8.4.0 like @Daym3l or downgrade npm to something like 3.10.0 like I did

Try install old version.
①npm uninstall -g cordova
②npm install -g cordova@6.5.0
③cordova platform add android

As @TomohikoTsuji stated, just use the below commands. That worked for me

npm uninstall -g cordova
npm install –g cordova@6.5.0 or npm install –g cordova@latest
ionic cordova platform add android

armmmo · 2017-10-13T03:02:29Z

adding the PATH helped me..thanks

jqzhao · 2017-10-17T18:07:36Z

I wasn't able to add both cordova-ios@^4.4.0 and cordova-android@^6.2.3. Tried to ran 'npm update' before 'ionic cordova prepare', which updated the version of cordova-ios and cordova-androi and fixed the platform fetch issue.

capitalgerald · 2017-10-20T10:37:22Z

##Here is the Solution that help me.
@jgw96 @Jumong

If you are in Windows usually this kind of error happens when you don't have all the paths required in your system environment path variable .
Especially the path variables given bellow.

Please paste this line on your system environment Path variable:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32;

Then close the current cmd and open a new cmd

Visit this Link - That helped me

suraj1212 · 2017-12-14T10:40:54Z

hey @madsongr i tried your method but whenever i am setting my path variable to C:\Windows\System32
i am getting another msg like "node is not recognized as an internal or external command"
Guys i nedd help...

madsongr · 2017-12-14T23:31:13Z

@suraj1212 probably you don't have node installed globally.

lexyfeito · 2018-01-09T23:23:21Z

So i installed OpenSSH and it erased my whole PATH, adding C:\Windows\System32 to the PATH fixed it

phoenixsachin · 2018-07-05T06:32:19Z

C:\Windows\System32 this is awesome . add to system variable in path.

Kreedzt · 2018-07-05T08:16:39Z

After those steps, i cleaned the dir at C:\Users\${username}\.config\configstore.
So that worked.

blakcoder2017 · 2018-10-03T10:38:45Z

This worked for me:
npm cache clean -f

ionic4themes · 2018-10-28T18:06:34Z

I added C:\Windows\System32 to system variables and clean the directory as @Kreedzt said, but still the same error, please help:
