Running command: /home/naman/test/platforms/android/cordova/run

Answer 1

You may need to uninstall the existing app on your device.

You may not have the required environment or OS to run this project.

But when I try to install my apk by adb it told my that the app was already installed. So I uninstalled it an it worked.
