Add what? If you don't know how to edit your path, then Google, how to edit path. — Drew B., Mar 02 '15 at 16:35

You are using the wrong command. Use
cordova platform add android

So, seems that you have to setup an environment variable called ANDROID_HOME in which you have to insert the path of the Android SDK. – Morry Mar 02 '15 at 15:31

Try this command line instructions: `set ANDROID_HOME=C:\\android-sdk-windows` and then `set PATH=%PATH%;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools` – Morry Mar 03 '15 at 08:30
The problem is that in the SDK version I downloaded, the platform-tools folder does not exist. There are only platroms and tools – francisco Mar 03 '15 at 11:22

Set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to point to your Android SDK installation.

Then run this command:

cordova platform add android

You should follow the official guide.

You need to install the Android SDK
You have to add android tools to your PATH environment variable

You can do it by adding (and adapting) this to your /home/francesco/.bashrc:

PATH = $PATH:/home/francesco/android-sdk/platform-tools:/home/francesco/android-sdk/tools

Cordova add Android platform
