Trouble with Android sdk Home variable

[crisefd]

Every time a use the command ionic, It says: "/bin/sh: 1 Cordova permision denied"

So I have to use sudo to execute. The problem is that when building the app

sudo ionic build android

returns

ERROR building one of the platforms: Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. Try setting setting it manually.
Failed to find 'android' command in your 'PATH'. Try update your 'PATH' to include path to valid SDK directory.
You may not have the required environment or OS to build this project
Error: Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. Try setting setting it manually.
Failed to find 'android' command in your 'PATH'. Try update your 'PATH' to include path to valid SDK directory.

So I checked the variable
echo $ANDROID_HOME
returns /opt/android-sdk

I tried giving permision to cordova with
sudo chown -R $(whoami) $HOME/.cordova

And also giving full permision to directories:

sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/android-sdk
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/node/
sudo chmod -R 777 $HOME/.cordova

And no luck

Hey @crisefd,

You should never use sudo beyond installing NPM packages. That said, you may want to check the permissions on your ~/.npm directory. On Mac I believe all packages are installed there including Cordova and Ionic.

Best,
