Error: ANDROID_HOME is not set and “android” command not in your PATH. You must fulfill at least one of these conditions.

Question

I\'m trying to install PhoneGap and I\'m getting the following error:

Error: ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH. Yo

Answer 1

I have MAC OS X Yosemite, Android Studio 1.0.1, JDK 1.8, and Cordova 4.1.2

When I tried to add the android project:

cordova platforms add android

I received the message: ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH

Based in cforcloud's answer... 'Error: the command "android" failed' using cordova and http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=studio I used the following:

export ANDROID_HOME="/Users//Library/Android/sdk"
export ANDROID_TOOLS="/Users//Library/Android/sdk/tools/"
export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="/Users//Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/"
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_TOOLS:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS
echo $PATH

When I tried to create the android project, I received this message:

Creating android project...
/Users/lg/.cordova/lib/npm_cache/cordova-android/3.6.4/package/bin/node_modules/q/q.js:126
                    throw e;
                          ^
Error: Please install Android target "android-19".

I ran Android SDK Manager, and installed Android 4.4.2 (API 19) (everything but Glass Development Kit Preview). It worked for me.

This is the content of my .bash_profile file.

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8`
launchctl setenv STUDIO_JDK /library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk
export ANDROID_HOME="/Users//Library/Android/sdk"
export ANDROID_TOOLS="/Users//Library/Android/sdk/tools"
export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="/Users//Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools"
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_TOOLS:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS

To edit .bash_profile using Terminal, I use nano. It is easy to understand.

cd
nano .bash_profile

I hope it helps.
