Answer 1

Quick Fix -

DELETE the downloaded file cordova-android-6.2.3.tgz or folder npm-304 8-83f48a6f under- C:\Users**{userName}**\AppData\Local\Temp\npm-304 8-83f48a6f\registry.npmjs.org\cordova-android-\cordova-android-6.2.3.tgz

And do cordova platform add android again. npm will redownload the required file. You can also download it manually (7.7 MB) from here and place it in the same folder and then run the command.

or delete all the files in the temp folder add the downloaded file in the root folder of C:\Users**{userName}**\AppData\Local\Temp\cordova-android-6.2.3.tgz
