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

Question

On Linux Mint 17.1 x86_64, Cordova v4.3.0 gives this error:

$ cordova run android

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


        

Answer 1

For others having this problem, assuming you have already checked and fixed any environment variables using @Naman Dixit's answer, you may also have to remove and add your platforms:

cmd:  cordova platform rm [platform(s) of interest]

delete everything in the [yourproject]/platforms folder. Then:

cmd:  cordova platform add [platform(s) of interest]

that was the final step I needed to get everything to work
