Cordova 3.5.0 Install Error- Please Install Android Target 19

Question

I try to get this working and it\'s driving me nuts:

$ cordova platform add android

The output is:

Creating android project         


        

Answer 1

1) Went into the SDK Manager (typing android into the terminal, assuming it's in your file path)

2) Selected box next to Android 4.4.2 (API 19)

3) Clicked button Install 8 packages

4) Ran original command (in this example cordova platform add android, although it could be ionic platform add android, depending on what you're working with)
