System config : OS : WIN XP, node version : 0.10.22, npm version : 1.3.14, phonegap version : 3.1.0,

EDIT :

Error Message

'phonegap' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C:>npm -g list phonegap

Answer 1

I got the same error and adding the path to the Environment Variables did the trick.

Just pay attention to the correct path, because in my case it is different from the question.

Look what you get when you do: npm -g list phonegap

In my case it displays: c:\usr\local

So this is the path you need to add to the PATH variable under User variables on the Environment Variables.

Answer 2

Delete path variable from "users variable". That worked nicely for me.

Answer 3

change the name from phonegap to cordova You can use the following command to create a project through command line cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
