> The command line tool to build, deploy and manage [Cordova](https://cordova.apache.org)-based applications.

[Apache Cordova](https://cordova.apache.org) allows for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
This tool helps with management of multi-platform Cordova applications as well as Cordova plugin integration.

## Installation

In your command-line on Windows:

```bash
    c:\> npm install -g cordova
```

In your terminal on Mac OS X/Linux:

```bash
    $sudo npm install -g cordova
```

## Creating a new Cordova project

This simple example demonstrates how Cordova CLI can be used to create a `myApp` project with the `camera` plugin and run it for `android` platform:

```bash
    cordova create myApp com.myCompany.myApp myApp
    cd myApp
    cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera --save
    cordova platform add android --save
    cordova requirements android
    cordova build android --verbose
    cordova run android
```
