Android SDK is missing command line tools

Question

I've installed flutter but when I run flutter doctor to verify the installation, I get:-

Android SDK is missing command line tools

I've doubled checked that the command lines are installed.

What do I need to do remove this error?

I've included the full flutter doctor -v output below:-

$ flutter doctor -v

Answer 1

On Android Studio open SDK Manager.

Go to SDK Tools tab.

Check if Android SDK Command-line Tools is checked. If not, check and apply the changes.

For some reason, after updating flutter and Android Studio, I got this error too. Seems like some new requirement that for some reason wasn't automatically installed.

This fixed it for me.

Answer 2

I think ANDROID_HOME and ANDROID SDK should be pointing to the same path and that is the SDK's root directory.

In my .bashrc (on LINUX), following are

export ANDROID_HOME=/home/myname/Android/Sdk

export PATH=/home/myname/Android/Sdk:$PATH

export PATH=/home/myname/Android/Sdk/platform-tools:$PATH

export PATH=/home/myname/Android/Sdk/tools:$PATH

export PATH=/home/myname/Android/ndk-build:$PATH
