This is a follow up question after I attempted to fix this issue.
I now have Visual Studio 2015 with the associated tools for Apache Cordova, but I am still unable to run multi device hybrid app in ios simulator.
I created a new blank Cordova project and I am able to run it on the Ripple browser simulator. However, when I try to run the app on the configured Mac to test it on ios I get the following error:
Done building 1630 : error CordovaModuleLoadError [ '4.3.0' ]
And here is the full terminal output:

I have also tried the solution of changing the ownership of npm directory found here which did not work for me. Here is the output in the terminal when I tried to resolve the issue following the solution in the previous link:
