If you're using Docker, then you'll need to run all of the cordova
commands inside your Docker container. For example:
$ docker run \
--volume="$HOME/watson-calorie-counter/mobile:/mobile" \
calorie-counter \
cordova --help
Start by adding the Android platform as the target for your mobile app.
$ cd $HOME/watson-calorie-counter/mobile
$ cordova platform add android
But run inside docker, would be:
$ docker run \
--volume="$HOME/watson-calorie-counter/mobile:/mobile" \
calorie-counter \
cordova platform add android
