When this is done it’s time to create a project. This is done with the create command. Run the following line but replace CordovaAndGoogleMaps with the name of your project.

Next it’s time to add platform. At the time when this is being written you can choose from these available platforms: amazon-fireos, android, blackberry10, browser, firefoxos, ios, osx, webos

Lets go for the ios platform, but first go in to the directory of your new project

cd CordovaAndGoogleMaps
cordova platform add ios
