Ionic Framework error: could not install "com.ionic.keyboard"

Question

Just started testing the ionic infrastructure, and I ran into a little trouble when I wanted to add the Android platform. When I run the command:

ionic platform add android

I get the following

Done adding default Ionic resources
Adding icons for platform: android
running cordova platform add android

What could be causing the error above?

Answer 1

Based on an error message, adding a platform is not performed due to a lack of permissions

Command failed with exit code EACCES

when trying to create a folder /media/denny/New Volume/projects/mobile/tester/platforms/android/cordova/version.

If you are using a Mac, you should see this answer by holmescn.

If you are using Linux, try running

chmod -r 777 *

in your root projects to get enough permissions.
