Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. It allows you to use standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, so that we can build one code base which will be used on all platforms. It allows us to avoid platform specific developments.

Let us see the step by step procedure,

Step 1: Install Cordova dependencies. Download and install from the given link:

1. Java jdk

Step 3: To confirm whether the dependencies installed properly, you just need to open a command prompt and type ‘Cordova requirements’.

Also check the versions of all the dependencies

Step 4: Let’s install Cordova from Node Package Manager. Type the below command. -g should be given to install cordova globally to access in any folder.

If npm needs to be installed in the specific folder you can avoid using -g,

Step 5: Once done with Cordova installation, let’s check its version in command prompt

Perfect, we are done with all the set up and installation to start creating a Hybrid App.
