Answer 1

Steps you should do:

1. npm cache clean

2.Bring back the node version to v0.10.36 as suggested that the latest version of node may not be compatible for the new cli for window users.

3.Run the node cli or cmd in admin mode

4.npm install -g cordova

Answer 2

I'm using node:0.12.5, npm:2.12.0. I got the same problem, and my simple solution was just use this command:

npm cache clean

and then use the installation command for your package, in this case

npm install -g cordova
