Setting up a development environment for ionic/ android can be a pain in the ass.

This windows powershell script creates a virtual disk (VHDX) and download and installs all requirements needed to develop ionic apps for android inside this vhdx:

• Visual Studio Code
• nodejs
• Java 8 JDK
• Android SDK
• git
• ionic
• angular

after installation, exit powershell, start a new powershell as administrator, cd onto x: and execute init.ps1-script, which will initialize all environment variables for this powershell session.
