Answer 1

please do following:

1. npm install -g cordova
2. npm install -g ionic
3. ionic start myApp blank
4. cd myApp
5. cordova platform add android

you can use cordova while installing platform in ionic project because Ionic internally use cordova itself.

Please feedback me if error still persist.

Thank you

Answer 2

cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform rm android

cordova platform add ios
cordova platform add android

// edit

to execute these commands, you have to be in your root folder (where you have your config.xml)
