Ionic: Adding platform gives error

Question

Having first Ionic encounter, I am setting the environment up for an Android app on OSX Yosemite. By running the command sudo ionic platform android I am getting following error:

Error: %s Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory '/Users/myUser/hooks'
    at Error (native)
    at Object.fs.readdirSync (fs.js:761:18)
    at Object.setHooksPermission (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/ionic-app-lib/lib/hooks.js:116:24)
    at Object.IonicTask.run (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/lib/ionic/cordova.js:51:13)

    at Module.load (module.js:355:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:310:12)
Updated the hooks directory to have execute permissions
Error happened { [Error: ENOENT, open '/Users/myUser/config.xml'] errno: -2, code: 'ENOENT', path: '/Users/myUser/config.xml' }
Error: ENOENT, open '/Users/myUser/config.xml'
    at Error (native)

Versions after running their upgrade:

@GuillermoMerino No. How do I generate it. I just installed Ionic. Haven't created project yet. — Volatil3

@Volatil3 When you generate a new project (ionic start YourAppName blank), the config.xml file creates automatically. — Avión

It should be this,

$ ionic platform add android

Also, you'd better not run command with sudo or you might face with troubles with permission some time later.

go to ionic app folder where your config.xml file exists.and then execute this command.

$ cd Myapp where folder structure should look like this

$Myapp -> ls

$Myapp -> bower.json gulpfile.js ionic.project platforms README.md scss config.xml hooks package.json plugins resources www

$Myapp -> ionic platform add android
