Installing PhoneGap

This is my 2nd day at trying to install PhoneGap, so please go easy on me. Here's what I did starting this morning:

C:\Users\Phillip> npm install -g phonegap
C:\Users\Phillip> phonegap create my-app
C:\Users\Phillip> cd my-app

Add your platform and build it first

npm install -g phonegap
phonegap create my-app
cd my-app
phonegap platform add android
phonegap platform build android
phonegap run android

And maybe use your cmd.exe in administrator mode. I lose so much time because of this..

I have done this using the following commands:-

$ sudo npm install -g phonegap
$ phonegap create my-app


$ export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/taruna/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030/sdk/platform-tools:/Users/taruna/Documents/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030/sdk/toolssource

The above path should be your sdk tool path.

$ phonegap run android after

Now the above command will run your application in the emulator.It may take several minutes, so please wait for that and check the result.

Also, you should have node.js installed in your system before making any phonegap project using CLI.

Check you have all the requirements listed in the cordova platform guide

I recently discovered a magic command that helps display what's missing to build cordova android project :

%userprofile%\.cordova\lib\android\cordova\3.3.0\bin\check_reqs.bat
