Hi Guys,
I’m working with OS X Yosemite and tried to add android platform in my project, but when i add android platform it’s return error

Running command: /Library/WebServer/Documents/xxxxx/platforms/android/cordova/build 
[Error: ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH. You must fulfill at least one of these conditions.]
Error: /Library/WebServer/Documents/xxxxx/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2

    at maybeClose (child_process.js:756:16)

Actualy, I’ve already set environment variable in ~/.bash_profile like this

# export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/donny/Documents/android/sdk"
# source ~/.bash_profile

it’s still won’t work, when i ran this command

# echo $ANDROID_HOME

it’s return blank or empty.

Thank You, Any help will appreciate

well this seems to be a problem of the fact that the variable is set only for that particular terminal session, and not for the entire system… i am not an expert with OS X… so u need to figure out how to set the variable for entire system and not for a particular terminal session

Hmm, so why would you put that in your bash_profile if your terminal uses zsh? If you’re using zsh, you should put this in your zshrc

Also in my case, I installed Android studio to get the sdk so that could be why android isn’t found.

Hi all,

Helpful hint for linux users who find themselves here. Make sure your editing the right .bash_profile, I kept getting the above error response until I realized I was editing the “/home/user/.bash_profile” instead of the “/root/.bash_profile”

OPEN terminal as root

nano ~/.bash_profile

export ANDROID_HOME=/root/Android/Sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

EXIT > SAVE

source ~/.bash_profile
echo $ANDROID_HOME

I get the same error on ubuntu despite having ANDROID_HOME on my path. I have no idea what the problem is. The path is set in my .profile file.

Upgrade warning - for the CLI to run correctly,
it is highly suggested to upgrade the following:

Please update your Node runtime to version >=0.12.x

make sure you wrote environment variable in the right place

$ cd $HOME
$ nano .bash_profile

do not wrote if u are in root access like this

# cd $HOME
# nano .bash_profile

just make sure after u are in the right place type this

$ pwd

it should print /Users/your_user

if you are in root access it will print /var/root

I hope it help you
Thank you

I’ve set the variable in my .profile, .bashrc and bash_profile files and I still get the same error. It is set as an environment variable.

:~/ionic/myApp$ env
ANDROID_HOME=/opt/android-sdk

17

What about your PATH?
Does it work when you run android command ?

18

yes. Both Android, Cordova and Ionic are on the path.

19

just make sure u add $PATH at the last of your environment path

for example

$ cd $HOME
$ nano .bash_profile

then it will open the nano editor

# your path
export PATH = "/directory/path:$PATH"

then save that, after that you have to execute this command to make sure your new path is registered

$ source .bash_profile

to test if your new path has registered just type this

$ echo $PATH

i hope it will help you

Thanks

/ionic$ echo $PATH
