I think we should use "$ cordova platform add android" instead of ..ubuntu!

To install Cordova on Ubuntu, run :

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cordova-ubuntu/ppa 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cordova-cli

You can test your environment by creating a sample application :

cordova create myapp com.ubuntu.developer.myid.myapp "My App"
cd myapp
cordova platform add ubuntu

And finally build your application by running :

cordova build --device
