Adding Cordova Plugins to Meteor Project with command line arguments

In my Meteor project a Cordova Plugin needs to be added. While this is documented in

https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Meteor-Cordova-Phonegap-integration

the problem here is that the Plugin needs a command line argument, meaning in a common Cordova project it would be added like so:

cordova plugin add pluginName --variable varName="VAR_VALUE"

So how can I add a variable in Meteor?

Just adding the argument gives back: "--variable: unknown option"

Without the argument I get the error "Failed to install Plugin:Error: Variable is missing.."

Another way would be to clone the project, upload it to my Github-account and then put in the variables by hand.

meteor add cordova:pluginName@https://github.com/myName/prjName/tarball/SHA-ID

Here the error is "Must declare exact version of dependency". But how shoud I?

meteor add cordova:[email protected]@https://github.com/myName/prjName/tarball/SHA-ID doesn't work either?

Or can one add a Plugin to a Meteor project manually, meaning adding the sourcefiles to the .meteor-directory?

Any help would be appreciated.

I couldn't make it work the way Slava posted. I don't know why actually. The way it worked on my system with the plugin was to git clone the Plugin from Github, fill in the KEYS, push it to my Github account and add it with meteor add cordova:plugin@https://github.com/myacc/prj/tarball/sha

Edit:

It does work, but you also have to put the variable in single quotation marks, like so

App.configurePlugin('plugin.google.maps', {
  'API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
});
