Can't add android platform in cordova 3.3

Question

I tried to add the android platform by:

$ cordova platform add android

I get that out:

    Creating android project...

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:126
                    throw e;

I specified the SDK's path in the .bash_profile, is there something more I need to do?

Thanks for answers!

I fixed it!! First you have to add android tools and platform tools to your PATH...

So open your user profile ( in terminal type:)

nano ~/.profile
PATH=$PATH:/YOUR_ADT_FOLDER/sdk/platform-tools:/YOUR_ADT_FOLDER/sdk/tools
export PATH

Save it and type on terminal:

. ~/.profile

Now try to add your cordova platform, if it not works try to install apache ant. I'm using elementary os, so I opened the software center, searched for ant e install it. After it see if 'ant' is on your terminal and then add your platform.

For OSX your path needs to include /Users/yourusername

their example: /Development/adt-bundle/sdk/platform-tools
needs to be: /Users/yourusername/Development/adt-bundle/sdk/platform-tools

check your path with echo $PATH (use caps, it's case sensitive!)

this is documentation Phonegab docs for setup .bash_profile(mac),bashrc(linux), or windows

and my .bash_profile:

export PATH=${PATH}:$HOME/Development/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140321/sdk/platform-tools:$HOME/Development/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140321/sdk/tools

Have you tried with 'sudo'? sometimes I run into permissions issues with the various libraries. – Dawson Loudon Dec 23 '13 at 23:52
