Cordova command line on windows after Visual Studio tools installed


I installed Visual Studio 2015 with support for building apps with Apache Cordova. I would like to be able to build existing Cordova apps outside of Visual Studio, but I can't find the Cordova command line interface. Should I install Cordova again using npm? Will that break the builds for projects created with Visual Studio? VS installed node.js so npm prompt works. I'm new to Cordova BTW.

    The answer is yes, you can install Cordova again using npm and that won't break the builds for projects created by Visual Studio.

    And one more thing to notice, you need to install cordova command line tool globally: npm install -g cordova.
