GitHub user GitToTheHub edited a discussion: Add cordova-android locally for
development
Hi,
I wanted to add cordova-android locally, but it do not work. I added my
cordova-android fork with `cordova platform add --link
/path/to/cordova-android-fork` but get the following error:
```bash
Error: Command failed with exit code 127: npm install
/Users/manuelbeck/Projekte/app_entwicklung/github/cordova-android-fork
--save-dev
npm error code 127

npm error command failed

```
The root cause sems to be `npm error sh: cordova-js: command not found`. The
cordova-cli is up-to-date. When I add the fork with `cordova platform add
https://github.com/GitToTheHub/cordova-android`it works.

Manuel
