Cordova: unable to add android platform - node.js

I've just generated a new Ionic1 app using "sidemenu" template.
No plugin added, no extra dependencies.
I get the error:

node 8.9.4
npm 5.1.0
cordova 8.0.0
ionic 3.19.1
SOLVED(?): as the other 4-5 times I faced this problem, I solved but I do not know how. I simply tried to reinstall node (v8 and v9), npm (different versions), cordova (different versions), nvm. After ~15 hours completely wasted on this, I solved at the 4th complete refresh of the node/npm environment. NPM is simply a cruel nightmare.
EDIT: I suspect I solved because I changed the npm directory from
%APPDATA%/npm
to
C:\Program Files\nodejs
using the command
npm config set prefix "C:\Program Files\nodejs"

Surprisingly there are several tickets on the npm's GitHub issues page adressing your problem. Futhermore one of my teammates ran into exact the same issue as well today… So just have a look at their issues page or try one of the proposed solutions:
Update your npm to a newer version
Close your IDE e.g. VSCode or Visual Studio and npm install again
Kill all running node instances from your task manager and npm install again

npm install -g #vue/cli get error VUE CLI INSTALL ERROR

I'm on PC/Windows 10, node15.0.0, npm 6.14.8
I just wanted to install Vue CLI and I got this error.
I have the latest version of Node.js as you can see below. I tried some different ways like npm uninstall -g vue-cli and npm cache clean --force, but, it did not work.

Any idea what that means and how to solve it?
I found that I could do nothing but press enter
Possible fixes:
open cmd as administrator - search for cmd, right-click, and open as administrator.
run this command npm cache clean --force
npm install again in this administrator cmd.
if still didn't work, close all node processes and try these steps again, also can try these after a system restart.

My npm version is v12.14.0 and my node version is v12.14.0 .
Delete the node_modules folder and package-lock.json file, then run npm install again.
You should run npm command as a super user.
Try,
sudo npm install
If it doesn't make sense try to delete node_modules and try npm install again

What I've tried:
Running from cmd, git bash and power shell both as a regular user and as admin
Deleting the node_modules folder and retrying
installing nvm for Windows and installing nodejs 12.13.0 LTS (which then installs npm), then trying npm install
uninstalling nvm for Windows and installing nodejs 12.13.0 LTS with the site's installer, npm i -g npm, npm install
excluding my workspaces dir in Windows security settings
npm cache verify, npm install
npm cache clean --force, npm install
Can anyone suggest something I may not have thought of? Unfortunately I can't post my package.json or .npmrc as the repository I'm using is not public but from the looks of the error it should be irrelevant.
Update
It looks like it might be a race condition. See here. I'm using npm version 6.13.0.
Another update
I've got other problems now but Jonathan Irvin's comment helped me, in particular this. I disabled windows indexing and gave all permissions to my user.
try npm unlink on the root directory of the project.

Error while creating new project in angular

Angular CLI : 6.0
Node version : 10.5.0

temporary fix, downgrade npm to 5.3
npm install npm#5.3 -g
Use administrator privileges. Error says you are not using admin CMD
Install packages after closing your code editor,
Are you using Node Cmd or any IDE(like VSCode) to create new project
try this command
npm i -g #angular/cli
ng new app-name
cd app-name.
ng serve

According to github issue, permission problems occur while trying to access Windows partition.
Try to move the project to Home directory which is EXT4 and run the command.
I haven't tried this myself but maybe you could skip creating symlinks if it's only problem with them.
