Cordova how to install missing plugins after checkout project from repo?

If you added the add_plugin & remove plugin hooks, your package.json shall have a cordovaPlugins list.

If yes, then, the solution that i used is to remove the platform and add it again to fetch for all plugins

cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add android

here are the needed hooks

hooks/after_plugin_add/010_register_plugin.js

#!/usr/bin/env node
/**
 * Push plugins to cordovaPlugins array after_plugin_add
 */
var fs = require('fs');
var packageJSON = require('../../package.json');

packageJSON.cordovaPlugins = packageJSON.cordovaPlugins || [];
process.env.CORDOVA_PLUGINS.split(',').forEach(function (plugin) {
  if(packageJSON.cordovaPlugins.indexOf(plugin) == -1) {
    packageJSON.cordovaPlugins.push(plugin);
  }
});

fs.writeFileSync('package.json', JSON.stringify(packageJSON, null, 2));

hooks/after_plugin_rm/010_deregister_plugin.js

#!/usr/bin/env node
/**
     * Remove plugins from cordovaPlugins array after_plugin_rm
     */
    var fs = require('fs');
    var packageJSON = require('../../package.json');

    packageJSON.cordovaPlugins = packageJSON.cordovaPlugins || [];

    process.env.CORDOVA_PLUGINS.split(',').forEach(function (plugin) {
      var index = packageJSON.cordovaPlugins.indexOf(plugin);
      if (index > -1) {
        packageJSON.cordovaPlugins.splice(index, 1);
      }
    });

    fs.writeFile('package.json', JSON.stringify(packageJSON, null, 2));

hooks/after_platform_add/010_install_plugins.js

#!/usr/bin/env node

/**
 * Install all plugins listed in package.json
 * https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diegonetto/generator-ionic/master/templates/hooks/after_platform_add/install_plugins.js
 */
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var path = require('path');
var sys = require('sys');

var packageJSON = require('../../package.json');
var cmd = process.platform === 'win32' ? 'cordova.cmd' : 'cordova';
// var script = path.resolve(__dirname, '../../node_modules/cordova/bin', cmd);

packageJSON.cordovaPlugins = packageJSON.cordovaPlugins || [];
packageJSON.cordovaPlugins.forEach(function (plugin) {
  exec('cordova plugin add ' + plugin, function (error, stdout, stderr) {
    sys.puts(stdout);
  });
});

One other solution is to add a task for plugin installation as described on this page : http://jbavari.github.io/blog/2014/06/24/managing-cordova-plugins-with-package-dot-json-and-hooks/
