Description

I'm using cordova. My system has NPM@3.3.12 on Node 4.1.2.

I tried Node 5, NPM 3.3.12, NPM 3.3.6 (was working on 3.3.6 about a month ago). Was working on Node 4.1.1

Cordova-Lib has NPM@2 as a dependency, which NPM@2 gets installed under my project node_modules folder.

The NPM team recommends Cordova-Lib updates the dependency to use NPM@3 ASAP. https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10234#issuecomment-153710853
