unable to add ionic add platform android

Question

Here is what I can see on my terminal

ionic add platform android

You must have bower installed to continue. Type npm install -g bower (CLI v1.7.12)

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 5.4.1 Ionic Version: 1.1.1 Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.12 Ionic App Lib Version: 0.6.5 ios-deploy version: Not installed ios-sim version: 5.0.6 OS: Mac OS X El Capitan Node Version: v4.2.4 Xcode version: Xcode 7.2.1 Build version 7C1002

MacBook-Pro-2:myapp AliSajid$ npm install -g bower /usr/local/bin/bower -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/bin/bower [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower MacBook-Pro-2:myapp AliSajid$ ionic add platform android

Failed to find the bower component "platform". Are you sure it exists? (CLI v1.7.12)

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 5.4.1 Ionic Version: 1.1.1 Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.12 Ionic App Lib Version: 0.6.5 ios-deploy version: Not installed ios-sim version: 5.0.6 OS: Mac OS X El Capitan Node Version: v4.2.4 Xcode version: Xcode 7.2.1 Build version 7C1002

You are calling ionic add platform android it should be ionic platform add android.

Also if you are safe to reinstall, perhaps try npm install -g cordova ionic to ensure all latest dependencies.

It seems like you have to install Bower first with npm install -g bower.
