npm cordova error prevent install

Question

I cannot run any npm install commands due to an error that is popping up. I am not sure what it means:

npm ERR! path /Users/.../Projects/.../file:cordova-dist/tools/cordova-common-1.5.1.tgz
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! syscall stat
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/Users/.../Projects/.../file:cordova-dist/tools/cordova-common-1.5.1.tgz'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent 

What am I supposed to do to remedy the error?

Answer 1

After locating the file causing the issue, cordova-common. I was able to remove the android platform causing the issue (since I don't need it) and was able to re-run npm install without a failure.
