Follow these steps :

• Download and install Node.js. Following installation, you should be able to invoke node and npm on your command line.
• Download and install a git client, if you don't already have one. Following installation, you should be able to invoke git on your command line.
• Install the cordova module using npm utility of Node.js. The cordova module will automatically be downloaded by the npm utility.

On OS X and Linux: $ sudo npm install -g cordova

On Windows: C:>npm install -g cordova
