cordova phonegap - error installing on Android platform

I am new to Cordova and phonegap but have Android working on my ubuntu 12.04. I followed this official guide and manage to install cordova.

Despite my machine supports android sdk, when I run this command:

cordova platform add android

I get the following exception:

 *cordova platform add android

You need to check if path to Android SDK is correct or not.
Check your Environment Variables PATH, ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS, ANDROID_HOME, ANT_HOME you can check if they are configured correctly by echo %ANDROID_HOME% check for all Paths you will know which path is not configured properly.

I solved this way:

adding the below line to my .bashrc:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030/sdk/platform-tools:/opt/adt-bun‌​dle-linux-x86_64-20131030/sdk/tools

1) run "android avd" command and create at least one virtual device based on a version of a previously downloaded SDK.

2) sudo apt-get install ant1.8

worked for me.
