As the error message says:

Check your connection
Are you behind a corporate proxy?

Downgraded from Node 8 to Node 6 (as suggested here: https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications/issues/1329) and cordova was able to add android. Still ran into some difficulties with old plugins whose repos lacked package.json files, so had to hunt down forks of those plugins that're maintained / have a package.json file.

Am having the same issue now and adding "C:WindowsSystem32" did not resolve my issue. Any help here would be great.
My Ionic Info command returns the below:

i have the same error..
I add C:WindowsSystem32, but the same error

on 22 Aug 2017
@jln1989 @Daym3l did you try to open windows cmd again? Every change on system environment variables requires to close cmd and open it again.
madsongr
on 22 Aug 2017
@jln1989 is it working now?
madsongr
on 23 Aug 2017
@madsongr yes thank you

I downgraded npm to version 3.10.0 and it worked again. Previously I had npm 5.4.0.
Ivan-Perez

I have C:WindowsSystem32 already, but I still have this problem.
ps. npm vsersion 3.10.10 and node version 6.11.0

@topphon try update to node 8.4.0, work for me...
Daym3l
on 29 Aug 2017
Well, generally adding System32 folder to path helps; also somehow only powershell running as administartor resolves different EPERM issues (when building Ionic 3 apps)

on 29 Aug 2017
@topphon follow the steps from this link http://ionicframework.com/docs/v1/guide/installation.html and pay attention on red links for windows/linux

@madsongr : Apologies for not getting back early. My issue got resolved yesterday after reinstalling NPM and running the CMD as administrator. Thanks for the help.

I had this same issue, adding the C:WindowsSystem32 did not work for me, and I was already running it as admin. I finally got it to work but downgrading my npm to 3.10.0.

@JayanthkumarJK what version of node and npm are you running? May have to upgrade node to 8.4.0 like @Daym3l or downgrade npm to something like 3.10.0 like I did

I wasn't able to add both cordova-ios@^4.4.0 and cordova-android@^6.2.3. Tried to ran 'npm update' before 'ionic cordova prepare', which updated the version of cordova-ios and cordova-androi and fixed the platform fetch issue.

Here is the Solution that help me.
@jgw96 @jumong
If you are in Windows usually this kind of error happens when you don't have all the paths required in your system environment path variable .
Especially the path variables given bellow.
Please paste this line on your system environment Path variable:
%SystemRoot%system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%System32Wbem;C:WindowsSystem32;
Then close the current cmd and open a new cmd

hey @madsongr i tried your method but whenever i am setting my path variable to C:WindowsSystem32
i am getting another msg like "node is not recognized as an internal or external command"

@suraj1212 probably you don't have node installed globally.

So i installed OpenSSH and it erased my whole PATH, adding C:WindowsSystem32 to the PATH fixed it
