Error: Could not find an installed version of Gradle either in Android Studio,
or on your system to install the gradle wrapper. Please include gradle 
in your path, or install Android Studio

 var distributionUrl = process.env['CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL'] || 'https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip'

Answer 1

Life is too short to spend it on messing with paths, etc.

Since I had Homebrew installed on the iMac, I just ran this command:

brew install gradle

The Ionic3 project started to build successfully.
