Trouble setting up karma-cordova (Linux) - linux

Question

First time doing anything on karma or linux so forgive me if I have made an obvious mistake.
Trying to run basic tests on karma-jasmine using cordova.
On karma start I get the following error logs:
30 10 2015 17:33:28.644:WARN [karma]: No captured browser, open http://localhost:9876/

Below is my karma.conf.js file:
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({

}
Any advice appreciated, cheers!

Seems that the user running karma has not set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable.
Try opening the terminal and typing:
export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/your/android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/bin
You can also add those lines to the user .bashrc to load them in each login.
