Ubuntu cordova cannot run without root

I tried running

npm install -g cordova

but it cannot install it, must have "sudo" before it. This lead to when I want to add a new project I have to run

sudo cordova create

But it cannot run, it said ANDROID_HOME is not set. When I run

sudo -i

to run with root, it can run find. I have edit .bashrc for /root/ and /home/myUser/

So, how can I install cordova with

npm install -g cordova

?

Since ANDROID_HOME is not set in your root's environment variables.
Either
append ANDROID_HOME="Path to your sdk" to /root/.bashrc
or
use sudo -E instead of sudo which will use your environment variables.
Remember second option assumes that you have ANDROID_HOME set in your bashrc.

You will want to change the owner of the path where cordova is installed and possibly change the owner of the path you will be building in.

For cordova:

sudo chown -R {your_user_name} /path/to/where/cordova/installed

And then the same on the path where your app projects will be:

sudo chown -R {your_user_name} /path/to/app/project
