How to add plugin for iOS into Phonegap via CLI?

Question

I'm trying to build my app using the Phonegap CLI. I've got the project created, and then when I try and add the plugins I get:

$ sudo phonegap plugin add cordova-plugin-globalization

Error: Failed to fetch plugin git+https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-globalization.git via registry.

Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.

Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

Error: npm: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:

If I browse to /Users/apple/, I don't see a .npm folder. Is this hidden?

Eugh, I'm kicking myself!!!!

• My project folder was called "chambres new test". It didn't seem to like the spaces. I've re-created it as just "chambres", and it adds plugins now
• I was trying to add plugins like so:

sudo phonegap plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-device.git

For some reason it didn't like that. It did however work with:

sudo phonegap plugin add cordova-plugin-device
