I’m a big fan of Stack Overflow and I tend to contribute regularly (am currently in the top 0.X%). In this category (stackoverflow) of posts, I will be posting my top rated questions and answers. This, btw, is allowed as explained in the meta thread here.

As you may know, I’m really into Ionic framework lately and am helping out on StackOverflow with the knowledge I gained so far with the framework. I’m in the top All time answerers list.

I actually asked this question myself:

I was following the official (and rather great) docs over at Ionic for how to get started with push notifications.

However, once the instructions said to install the phonegap-plugin-push plugin, I received the following error:

Anyone has an idea of why? I tried with cordova instead ionic but I get the same error.

Also, I managed to find the answer myself:

After quite some searching I stumbled upon an official blog post, Cordova is moving their plugins to npm.

So, finally, I installed it easily now with npm:

npm install phonegap-plugin-push
