Trouble with getting started on PhoneGap: Apache Cordova error

Question

I've been following the PhoneGap Getting Started Guide for Android. I'm on the step where it says: Type in ./create <project_folder_path> <package_name> <project_name> then press "Enter"

However, whenever I do this command in the form of ./create ./test2 com.mytest MyTest I get this error: An error occurred. Deleting project...

I'm in the right directory, and I don't believe I've done anything out of the ordinary in following their steps.

PS I'm on Mac OS X 10.7.5

Update: I tried installing the phonegap-master zip directly as one of the answers suggested. Now I get a new error when I run the command in that android bin directory: An unexpected error occurred: ANDROID_BIN="${ANDROID_BIN:=$( which android )}" exited with 1

Answer 1

Try

./create ./test2/MyTest com.mytest MyTest

the project_folder_path should be a non-exist folder

Answer 2

My problem is the incorrect paths to Android SDK. If you follow the instructions straight up, it will tell you to add

export PATH=${PATH}:/Development/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools:/Development/android-sdk-macosx/tools

to .bash_profile or .profile. I had to change mine to

export PATH=/Users/my_username/Development/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools:/Users/my_username/Development/android-sdk-macosx/tools:$PATH
