Ionic CLI not generating release build for Android

Hello,

When I use the command: cordova build --release android the CLI throws the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'minimatch'

But when I use Ionic Lab (Windows Installer) and using the Build option - it generates 'android-debug.apk' & 'android-debug-unaligned.apk' in the android\build\outputs\apk folder.

What is wrong with the CLI ??

Also, can I use the android-debug-unaligned.apk for Signing and Aligning for submitting into Google Play ??

Please advice.
