Answer 1

Was getting this when I was trying to run cordova commands. Steps to resolve:

Windows

1. In CMD prompt, type "where node". As Michael mentioned, this shows you the likely culprit, that you have 2 nodejs EXEs installed on your machine.
2. Navigate to Start > Computer > Right-click Properties > Advanced system settings
3. Under the Advanced tab, select Environment Variables
4. Under System variables, select "Path" variable
5. Find nodejs EXE, usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\"
6. Cut and paste this to the beginning of the "Path" variable. Ensure the paths are separated by a ";"
7. Open a new CMD prompt and try cordova again
