How to install a CL in a node-JS cordova plugin? you may ask. I did the same question. Here it is.

install-node-package-cordova.js

module.exports = function(ctx) {
    
  console.log('Installing npm packgae replace');
  var Q = ctx.requireCordovaModule('q');
  var deferral = new Q.defer();
  var exec = require('child_process').exec;
  var child = exec('npm install replace', function(error,stdout,stderr){
  	console.log('stdout: ' + stdout);
  	console.log('stderr: ' + stderr);
  	if (error !== null) {
  	   console.log('exec error: ' + error);
        }
        deferral.resolve();
  });

  return deferral.promise;
};
