read-package-json is a prerequisite for adding the plugin

Adding this plugin runs https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-custom-config/blob/master/hooks/resolveDependencies.js which tries to install read-package-json, but resolveDependencies.js itself is dependent on read-package-json.

True, but since read-package-json is a dependency of npm, if it's not installed, then either npm isn't installed or it's not installed correctly. But you're right, the plugin doesn't need to try to install a dependency which should already be there.

Hmm, yep. Didn't realize it was a dependency of npm. My setup must be somehow wonky, had to install read-package-json separately.
