I was going through some of the interesting questions on this forum and I came across your question.

It is very common error for the programmers who are new to Android and Ionic.

I guess you might have forgotten to set the class paths properly.

Please set the paths as shown below they are same for Ubantu and Mac

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/mphil/Software/android-sdk-macosx

export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/mphil/Software/android-sdk-macosx/tools

export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/mphil/Software/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools

After setting up the environment variables you must reload the environment variables using below commands

//For your ubuntu

$source .bashrc

//For your macos

$source .bash_profile

Now you can check in your terminal using below commands

$printenv ANDROID_HOME

$printenv PATH

If  you do not see your changes in printenv then try to restart your pc and run above commands again.

Now open the terminal and write $and and try to hit the tab if you see the complete $android then your installation is properly done.

Now you will not face above error.
