How to run the ionic app in my android real device.?

i tried this command - ionic cordova run android but am getting this error always.

Failed to find ‘ANDROID\_HOME’ environment variable. Try setting it manually. Failed to find ‘android’ command in your ‘PATH’. Try update your ‘PATH’ to include path to valid SDK directory.

What is the solution for this.Please help guys.

Have you set your ANDROID\_HOME variable as the error states? A quick search based on your development platform will tell you how to do this.
