Unable to add platform for ios and android (error: ENOENT, no such file or directory)

I tried to start this demo for ionic on Mac OSX http://ionicframework.com/docs/guide/installation.html

and I got to the point where I had to add platforms, so I entered this command into my terminal:

ionic platform add android

but then i got the following errors:

Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory '/Users/adeyo/todo/ionic-app-base-master/plugins/android.json'

I am getting a similar error when I try to add the ios platform and I have no idea how to fix it.

Creating the folder and installing ant worked for me:



mkdir plugins
brew install ant

I just needed to create a directory. I already have ant installed.

Make sure your current working directory in cmd is in your project, in my case I was parent to it by mistake and tried to add the platform
