Cordova doesn't work

Question

I'm reading the book "Beginning NFC Near Field Communication with Arduino, Android, and PhoneGap" . On page 29 under "Creating a PhoneGap Project" I'm trying to create a PhoneGap project with this command cordova create ~/Hello com.example.hello Hello and cordova platform add android . Everything seems (at least to me) to go well until when I try to run cordova run which spits the following lines:

ANDROID_HOME=/home/moki/Work/Tools/android-sdk-linux/
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_91

I'm unable to figure out what's the problem. How can I fix that?

I've installed Android SDK tools rev 25.1.3 , Android SDK Platform-tools rev 23.1 , Android SDK Build-tools rev 23.0.3 and Android 6.0 (API 23) SDK Platform . What else do I have to do to be able to run my first project successfully?

I'm trying to work under Debian Jessie OS. I'v also set my Android phone which is a Sony Xperia Z5 dual premium and it's already in developer mode with usb debugging enabled.

Run "cordova build android" in CLI after you've entered "cordova add platform android".

Have fun!
