'phonegap' is not recognized as an internal or external command

cordova, node.js, npm

Solution

The Problem is you need to set environment variable.

Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Environment variables

or

Mycomputer -> Right Click -> properties -> Advance System settings -> Environment variables

under User variables for youruser:

Path:
  %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%
  \System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Users\user1\AppData\Roaming\npm\`

Temp:
  %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp

If you are copy pasting it wont work. Follow my previous answer to configure this. If you are not getting this set up let reply.
