So you seem to have several problems.

If you are sure that ANDROID_HOME and PATH env variables are correctly set, then make sure that all folders permissions are correct in ANDROID_HOME (a+rx) and that all executable shell scripts are also correct (a+rx).

Make sure that you are the owner of /home/lakhdar/Public/appsionic, use chown -R

You have probably installed nodejs using sudo which is a source of problems unless you really require it, uninstall it and install using nvm, it will bring 2 benefits: clean install without root access and ability to switch between node versions.

Once done never use sudo anymore for node commands like npm, ionic, cordova, gulp, bower, …
