It looks like the version of node that you have is quite old, and has a version of npm that does not understand the "new" kind of semantic version syntax "^1.2.0".

Can you try updating your node to 0.10.38 and your npm to the latest version (currently 2.8.4) by installing the msi here: https://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.38/node-v0.10.38-x86.msi and then following our guide here: https://github.com/npm/npm/wiki/Troubleshooting#upgrading-on-windows

Thanks!

Can I uninstall cordova and re-install ?, seems you are correct and your method is working :)
Thanks

Yes, you can either just remove cordova from your global node_modules folder or you can try

npm rm -g cordova

Once you have a newer npm that supports the ^1.2.0 syntax, you should be able to install.

A note about node versions -- although 0.12.2 is nominally the "latest stable" version, I recommend using 0.10.38 unless you absolutely need something from 0.12, as we seem to be seeing some hard-to-track-down errors in 0.12.0 and 0.12.2.

Of course 0.12 will be the future of node, but especially if you are just getting started, I think you will find 0.10.38 to be a bit easier to work with.

it's ok now, but I cannot run emulator, I'm confusing what can I do now ?

It looks like you need to install one or more emulators in order to test your app.

Try running the suggested script:

Windows-R (to open the Run... dialog)
C:\Users\fmfuser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\android.BAT

then choose

  1. "SDK Platform" for android-22
  2. "Android SDK Platform-tools (latest)
  3. "Android SDK Build-tools" (latest)]

There is no ""C:\Users\fmfuser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\android.BAT", how can I set android home or set android to this ?

I'm sorry I can't help you more, but I don't know much about Cordova. It looks like, in order to install the Android SDK, you can follow the instructions here: http://evothings.com/doc/build/cordova-install-windows.html#InstallAndroidSDKTools
