what to install cordova -g vs phonegap -g

I'm just starting with phonegap and I need to install CLI. But I'm confused as to which of the following two I should install (or both):

npm install -g phonegap

According to main page of phonegap.com

npm install -g cordova

According to docs of phonegap

Solution

  • You should use phonegap (npm install -g phonegap) if you want to use phonegap build service i.e build.phonegap.com.

    If you want to use SDKs installed in your local environment(Local PC) to build hybrid apps you should be using the cordova option. i.e npm install -g cordova
