I'm super new to cordova and phonegap. I need to install the Cordova plugin barcodescanner and I have tried to do so through the Terminal (mac) with the following line:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-barcodescanner as specified in this document.
However, I get an error that I can not solve. I've read many other posts, and haven't found a solution for my case.
My error:
(node:1721) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: CordovaError: Cannot
find plugin.xml for plugin "cordova-plugin-barcodescanner". Please
try adding it again.

These are my specs: iOS: 10.13.4 Phonegap: 0.4.5
Thanks! :)
Ok, I figured out after many days and trials. Basically what I did was create a new project from scratch, using CLI. Then I followed step by step this documentation. When I got to the "plugin" section, I added the plugin I wanted with the following line:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-barcodescanner
Hope this helps other people. Cheers!
