Build Errors

ERROR1:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap

Fix
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Environment Variables->System

Variables->New:
Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS   
Variable value: -Xmx512M

Variable name: Path  
Variable value: ;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;F:\JDK\bin;  
Change this to your appropriate path.

Restart computer!

ERROR2:

File C:\Users\oktay\.android\repositories.cfg could not be loaded.
Checking the license for package Android SDK Build-Tools 26.0.2 in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\licenses

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':CordovaLib'.
> You have not accepted the license agreements of the following SDK components:
  [Android SDK Build-Tools 26.0.2].
  Before building your project, you need to accept the license agreements and complete the installation of the missing components using the Android Studio SDK Manager.
  Alternatively, to learn how to transfer the license agreements from one workstation to another, go to http://d.android.com/r/studio-ui/export-licenses.html

Fix
Create license file in %ANDROID_HOME%

mkdir "%ANDROID_HOME%\licenses"
echo |set /p="8933bad161af4178b1185d1a37fbf41ea5269c55" > "%ANDROID_HOME%\licenses\android-sdk-license"

ERROR3:

Warning: License for package Android SDK Build-Tools 26.0.2 not accepted.

Fix
Manually accept the license.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\bin>sdkmanager --update && yes | sdkmanager --licenses

ERROR4:

Fix
Give Full permission to Everyone for sdk folder ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk)

Giving full permission to "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" and "TrustedInstaller" didn't solve my problem.

Install MySQL Docker (Windows)

I assume Docker already installed and running.

Pull mysql container

You can specify version (5.7). If version is not given it will download latest version.

C:\>docker pull mysql/mysql-server:5.7

Connect MySQL on docker

docker exec -it mysql1 mysql -uroot -p

If you did not provide a password in docker run command then system will generate a password. To change password and give some permissions:

C:\>docker logs mysql1 2>&1 | FindStr GENERATED
[Entrypoint] GENERATED ROOT PASSWORD: yBiG5ynmyvVurAw93HDok3buGhi

docker exec -it mysql1 mysql -uroot -p

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'root';

CREATE USER 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'root';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'root'@'%';

Connect MySQL on client

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE>mysql -h localhost -P 3306 -u root -p
