title: ionic v.3.20.0: FilePath plugin is not installed
body: <p>I found this issue for ionic 2 in this forum, but the solution does not work for ionic v.3.20.0.</p>
  
  <p>I am following the steps outlined here:
  <a href="https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/file-path/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/file-path/</a></p>
  
  <p>Installation according to given instructions. Then I add the plugin to 'app.module.ts' and then I add the code from the 'Usage' part to my ts file.</p>
  
  <p>I am previewing the app with the Ionic Dev App from Google Play on my Android device (LG G4), so I can get a live reload with 'ionic serve -c'.</p>
  
  <p>The error I am seeing in the console is:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[18:56:16]  console.warn: Native: tried calling FilePath.resolveNativePath, but the FilePath plugin is not installed.> [18:56:16]  console.warn: Install the FilePath plugin: 'ionic cordova
    plugin add cordova-plugin-filepath'
    [18:56:16]  console.log: plugin_not_installed</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to deal with this error?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update: package.json</strong></p>
