Error: ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH. Yo

Answer 1

On Linux, add this to the end of your .bashrc, .profile or appropriate file for your shell:

export ANDROID_HOME=/home/youruser/whatever/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platforms-tools

Please notice that these environment variables will be available for newly created shells, not the already open.

Answer 2

Using Android Studio on Windows the system variables settings have changed a little.

You still have to add a system variable ANDROID_HOME, but pointing to the directory containing the android SDK usually installed in C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio\sdk.

You also need to add the following to the Path system variable:

;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;

SDK Path also be in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

Answer 3

ANDROID_HOME is deprecated now instead of using ANDROID_HOME use ANDROID_SDK_ROOT

as per Google android documentation -

ANDROID_SDK_ROOT sets the path to the SDK installation directory. Once set, the value does not typically change, and can be shared by multiple users on the same machine. ANDROID_HOME, which also points to the SDK installation directory, is deprecated.

If you continue to use it, the following rules apply:

• If ANDROID_HOME is defined and contains a valid SDK installation, its value is used instead of the value in ANDROID_SDK_ROOT.
• If ANDROID_HOME is not defined, the value in ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is used.
• If ANDROID_HOME is defined but does not exist or does not contain a valid SDK installation, the value in ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is used instead.

Answer 4

Android path set in linux:

$export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/lib/android-sdk-linux
$export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
$export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platforms-tools

than

$cordova run android

Answer 5

By the way, one other possibility is that you do have a too old version of cordova android platform.

Error: Android SDK not found. Make sure that it is installed. If it is not at the default location, set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable.

Then:

cordova platform update android --save

Answer 6

if Linux users still have the same error, probably they have used "sudo" for adding android platform.. a quick solution for this here, or you have installed cordova using sudo, also there is a solution for this problem here.

Hope this help!
