Android command for Ionic Framework not working on Windows 8 CLI?
I am on Windows 8 and am following how to install and use Cordova with Ionic Framework on Windows 8.1. I watched the video here: http://learn.ionicframework.com/videos/windows-android/ . I am stuck in a 5:58 video where the SDK Manager is supposed to show up when I type "android" at the command line, but it talks about this unrecognizable command. I made sure my file directories are accurate. What else am I missing? How do I fix this problem?
PATH
C:\Users\Jaime\AppData\Roaming\npm; C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin; C:\Development\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools; C:\Development\AndroidSDK\sdk\tools; C:\Development\ApacheAnt\bin; C:\Program Files\nodejs
Thank!

Phonegap and cordova installation procedures
why install?
1) node js download: http://nodejs.org/download/ We have node-v0.10.29-x64.msi (64 bit) installed. Once installed, open a command prompt and type "node -v" then "npm -v", these 2 commands should work without any error on the command line. Open Command Prompt - (press windows and the R key, then type cmd)
2) phonegap
http://phonegap.com/install/ Install the handset to cmd: type npm install -g phonegap to cmd After installation, the files will be placed in the C: \ Users \ Hari \ AppData \ Roaming \ npm folder. You can test the installation by entering the "phonegap -v" command at the command line.
3) java jdk http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html?ssSourceSiteId=otnjp
We have a jdk-8u5-windows-x64.exe file.
You may need to add path variables to My Computer -> Right Click -> Properties -> Advanced System Options -> Environment Variables
After installation, check the "java -version" checkbox on the command line. "where java" will help you determine the java installation path.
4) ant download: http://ant.apache.org/
We already have apache-ant -1.9.4-bin.zip portable version of Ant. We don't need to install, we just need to extract the zip file and put it somewhere safe.
You may need to add path variables to My Computer -> Right Click -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables Environment Variables Name: Ant_Home Example: C: \ Program Files \ apache-ant -1.9.4
5) android sdk download: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html We have adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140624 / SDK Manager.exe file.
6) ionic cmd -> npm install -g ionic
7) Cordova cmd -> npm install -g cordova
