Answer 1

To include the SDK's tools and platform-tools directories in your PATH environment open text editor to create or modify the ~/.bash_profile file, adding below line:

export PATH=${PATH}:/home/nilkash/Downloads/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools:/home/nilkash/Downloads/android-sdk-linux/tools

For Ubuntu:

To modify the PATH variable of your system, you need to edit your .bashrc file. To do so, in a terminal, execute the following command:

$ nano ~/.bashrc

You will now have the Nano text editor enabled on the terminal. Now, at the very top of the file, enter the following:

#AndroidDev PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

Once you're finished, press CTRL + X, Y, and then hit Enter to save your changes and exit the Nano text editor.

To reload the ~/.bashrc without re log in:

. ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bashrc

1) Check in System Settings -> Details, whether your Ubuntu is 32-bit or 64-bit

2) If your Ubuntu is a 32-bit OS then run this sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev In case of 64-bit OS run this sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

3) run this sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk or better this sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

4) Download SDK platform tools from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

5) Unzip downloaded file "adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030.zip" (you can have a little bit different name ;). But you should get folder contained two sub folder - sdk and eclipse

6) Run this nautilus ~

7) In opened window create folder 'android-sdk-linux'

8) copy the all entire contents of folder sdk (from unzipped archive) to this new folder 'android-sdk-linux'

9) try run this cd ~/android-sdk-linux/tools then this ./android. If you did all right you should see Android SDK Manager

10) run this sudo gedit ~/.bashrc in opened editor add this in very top

#AndroidDev PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

11) save and close

12) run exec bash then try run android

13) give write permissions to android-sdk-linux folder

Enjoy! ;)

Answer 3

android: command not found error

Solution for Linux and Mac:

1) Export your Android Sdk path to the ANDROID_HOME variable

$ export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk (where ~/Android/Sdk is a full path to your Sdk folder)

(change "~" to "$HOME" on Mac)

2) Export Sdk tools to the PATH variable

$ export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH

That's it!
