Hey Nic, thanks for the guide.
One problem, after creating the test app and adding android platform, i'm now trying to build and getting an error – the ANDROID_HOME path can not be found.
I can see the android sdk when running echo $PATH.
Any idea ?
damn ur amazing.. ur script saved me quite some time.
Thank you Nic, trying to follow the setup guides from all the individual components was a nightmare. Subscribed.
***** Hey, i have just executed your script on my Guest VirtualBox machine (Ubuntu 14.04). It works, i can do 'ionic serve' and everything, but when i try to install a global plugin (like 'npm install -g gulp') it gives me an error, and if i do 'sudo npm….' it says 'npm' is not a recognizible command… Any ideas on this?
If it helps:

Man, thanks so much for this. I managed to get Cordova & Ionic installed, however I completely corked up android sdk installation as well as jre & jdk. It was a nightmare for PATH etc. This just plain works and it's amazing !
hi thanks for this. if you have mac osx can have also do this in mac osx? thanks.
Hi Nic,
am trying do all step's which you are doing in this video and i download android SDK same as but when i enter the comman ionic start exampleproject blank and enter that time it's showing following ERROR
Error: EACCES, mkdir '/home/umesh/tmp/npm-13555-iu3pQo68'
Unable to add plugins. Perhaps your version of Cordova is too old. Try updating (npm install -g cordova), removing this project folder, and trying again. (CLI v1.3.18)
so please help me…
for anyone having trouble with Android SDK Manager not fetching the addons-list and respository .xml's. Go to opt/android-sdk/tools and run android with sudo (sudo ./android) then go to Tools in SDK Manager and check "Force https:// sources to be fetched using http://" and the package list should be fetched.If you run it without sudo the Tools menu is not there for some reason.
how about lunching the emulator?? i get this error from the linux terminal: No emulator images (avds) found, if you would like to create an
avd follow the instructions provided here:
http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/index.html
Im getting the following error please help:

Hey Nic, thanks a lot for this awesome shell script. For me, everything went like the video except when I tried "ionic platform add android"; I got this error: "Could not find JAVA_HOME. Try setting the environment variable manually". What could be wrong?
alright cool thanks
Looks good, would be great if you could create similar thing for windows machine.
