Appcelerator Errors When Running Android

Question

I'm having issues when trying to run the Android Emulator with Appcelerator. I'm new to this program and not having much luck finding an answer on how to fix this error. My app development knowledge up til now is Xcode and Apache Cordova. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Appcelerator along with different versions of Node with no luck. iPhone runs fine, so I'm guessing it's something with Java, but I can't figure out how or where to find it or fix it. I'm running Appcelerator v7.1.2 with Node v8.16.0 and npm v6.4.1. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Below is what it is showing when I try to run for Android.

As a different user has the same question and provided additional information it is likely that it is the same issue:

• use Java 1.8
• use Node 10.13.x

especially the Java version is required. Node might work in a newer version but the official supported version is 10.13.x at the moment
