Adding android platform to a Ionic (Cordova) + Genymotion project in Ubuntu 14.04

Here are my configurations:

OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Genymotion: 2.3.0
node: v0.10.25
npm: 1.3.10
cordova: 3.6.3-0.2.13
ionic: 1.2.7

After I created an Ionic project I tried adding the Android platform to it:

$ ionic start myApp sidemenu
...
$ cd myApp
$ ionic platform add android
Creating android project...

                          ^
Error: Failed to run "android". Make sure you have the latest Android SDK installed, and that the "android" command (inside the tools/ folder) is added to your PATH.

The problem is that there's no android in the installed Genymotion folder. Am I supposed to install the original android SDK as well?

It's mention worthy that the installed Genymotion starts the emulated android on its own perfectly.
