Ionic can't run ionic platform android

Question

I am starting to follow this demo for learning the ionic framework.

I made it to the point where it suggests that I type in ionic platform android . When I type that, I get this error:

C02FF724DF91:todo jcorser$ ionic platform android

I am on Mac OSX. I have developed two android apps before using Android Studio. I also followed the suggestion for OSX on the manual $ export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home) but this did not fix the problem.

如果您通过Homebrew安装了Android SDK，那么修复是这样的：

export ANDROID_HOME=`brew --prefix android`

Answer 2

on macosx it will be like this

open and edit the profile

vi ~/.bash_profile

the bash_profile would be like below (this is my edition)

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/Zam/Documents/android-sdk-macosx
    export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH

for you, it shuold use your sdk location

export ANDROID_HOME=where your sdk location
    export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH

source ~/.bash_profile
