ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH

ionic-v1
21

did you have already put this on ~/.bash_profile

export ANDROID_HOME="/YOUR_DIRECTORY/android/sdk"
22

I finally solved it. It was on my users path but not the root users path. I have to run these commands as a root user. I had to edit my root users .bash_profile file.

23

Are you running bash as your shell?
Did you check file permissions in your sdk?
Have you tried to rm platofrms and then re-add?

24

Im running in bash. I have not checked the file permissions on the sdk. I have this same problem with other areas aswell. I have to run most command as the root user e.g. npm install. It gets tedious after a while. I will try adding and removing the platforms.

25

On Ubuntu, I don’t install node as sudo, I always use nvm and since I started to do it I have less problems with node. Same thing with the sdk, I have yet to find a good reason for using sudo for Ionic/Cordova dev. It’s a pity that Ionic docs uses sudo.

26

In Ubuntu, do all the commands also root
sudo su
gedit ~/.bash_profile

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

27

Bad advice, it’s not required and it’s like playing with fire, see my answer above.

Adding this to your .bashrc file works great as well

export JAVA_HOME=$/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH

export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk

export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH

export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH
