What is wrong with him?

Answer 1

I think your cordova npm package has been missed by some modules. Try reinstalling it:

npm uninstall cordova -g && npm install -g cordova

I am using version 5.0 and it works fine, if the above does not work, try the following:

npm uninstall cordova -g && npm install -g cordova@5.0
