[~stevegill] This is not the behavior I'm seeing on Windows 10, see this log and notice the NPM version:


{code:shell}
cordova platform add android@6.2.1

Using cordova-fetch for cordova-android@6.2.1
Error: Failed to fetch platform cordova-android@6.2.1
Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.
Error: cmd: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
npm WARN invalid config loglevel="notice"
npm WARN unmet dependency C:\node\test\node_modules\are-we-there-yet requires readable-stream@'^2.0.6' but will load
npm WARN unmet dependency C:\node\test\node_modules\readable-stream,

npm ERR! node v8.4.0
npm ERR! npm  v2.15.12
npm ERR! code EPEERINVALID
{code}

My install has npm 5 though:
{code:shell}
npm -v
5.3.0
{code}

So fetch is definitely using that outdated NPM version, at least on Windows.

> I'm using NPM 3.x (3.3.2) and cordova-create is installing NPM 2.x in my node modules folder.
> There should be a way around this, I rather not have a copy of NPM (especially an older copy) in my node_modules.
> NPM 3.x is stable, included in node 5.
