Failed to find 'JAVA_HOME' environment variable in Mac
I'm new on Mac, so I installed Cordova (Node, Git, Grandle) but I can't execute it in my mobile phone, I mean I can't do "sudo Cordova run android" because it can't find "JAVA_HOME". When I installed I put this variable before... (It is a headache 🤕)
I tried to open the bash_profile but I didn't find it and if I open in terminal it always open a new file.
If I do echo $JAVA_HOME, it is the result:
echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/libexec/java_home
And this is my error:
sudo cordova run android --target=ZY223T38PM

Answer
You didn't install JAVA_HOME correctly, therefore it fails.
You have to do it like following:
After installation you have to add installed java to system variable:
Run in terminal for verification:
java -version
The output should be something like:
java version "1.8.0_06-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_06-ea-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b04, mixed mode)
After this check, you can import java to your IDE.
