Question

     [Error: Failed to find \'ANDROID_HOME\' environment variable. 
           


        

Answer 1

The procedure is already well explained in the above answers. But if add the ANDROID_HOME and PATH to the .bashrc or .zshrc present in /home/username/ and try to run the ionic command with sudo, you may get this error again.

The reason is, it may look for the ANDROID_HOME and PATH in the .zshrc file of root user instead of currently logged in user. So you shouldn't do that unless you add that in root user's .bashrc or .zshrc files.
