Notes on Apache Cordova

To install Cordova, follow the instructions for the CLI.

When you try to build, if you get a complaint on Macs that ANT is missing, follow these instructions, and in particular do:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

brew install ant

When you create an app as described in the CLI, do not try to compile it from Eclipse. Use the Cordova commands:

cordova build android

cordova run android

or if you don't have an android device,

cordova emulate android

after you install the emulator. Other platforms work in a similar way.
