Question

I've cordova 3.4.0-0.1.3 installation on Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

cordova platforms list following options

Installed platforms:
Available platforms: android, blackberry10, firefoxos, ubuntu

Created the cordova project using

cordova create hello com.example.hello

Creating a new cordova project with name "HelloCordova" and id "com.example.hello" at location "/home/user/Workspace/cmsocial/bb/hello"

cd hello

But cordova platform add blackberry10 is giving following error

$cordova -d platform add blackberry10
cordova library for "blackberry10" already exists. No need to download. Continuing.

Able to fix this by removing the .npm and tmp folders in the home directory.

rm -rf ~/.npm/
rm -rf ~/tmp
