from official cordova website

From anywhere within an app’s directory, plugins can be added to a project with

where PLUGIN_ID is the id (typically reverse-domain style) shown on the plugin registry website. You can also download a specific version of a plugin:

cordova plugin add [PLUGIN_ID]@[VERSION]

Answer 2

I had a similar problem with a plugin. This is how it worked for me:

Usually I would have added the plugin like this

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.contacts

Instead I fetched the plugin from github like this (note the version tag at the end)

cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-contacts#1.1.0
