How to install Visual Studio 2015 to use an existing installation of NodeJs, Cordova and android SDK

I'm currenlty using nodejs, cordova, android sdk. I'm trying to install visual studio 2015 but it seems to want to download and install these packages again, creating its own copy.

I want to use the existing tools. Is it possible?

You could point Visual Studio to use your settings by following steps below:

  1. On the Visual Studio menu bar, choose Tools, Options.
  2. In the Options dialog box, choose Tools for Apache Cordova, and then choose Environment Variable Overrides.

More details in the Configure the Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova on MSDN.

When specify values other then defaults take following notes in consideration:

  1. Visual Studio sometimes, has problems with node 0.12, it requires 0.10
  2. It may have problems with cordova 5.0.0, better use 4.3.0
