How do I open the sdk manager in the Mac

Question

How do I open the sdk manager in the Mac system to download the missing files for android studio

Answer 1

Just cd into the installed SDK path like this

cd /Users/<mac-user>/<path to sdk folder>/tools/bin && ./sdkmanager 

Where <mac-user> is your username to the MAC

For example:

 cd /Users/user/android-sdk-macosx/tools/bin && ./sdkmanager 

OLD ANSWER

  cd /Users/<mac-user>/<path to sdk folder>/tools && ./android 

where <mac-user> is your username to the MAC

For example in my own case, executing the following opens the SDK manager for me

 cd /Users/user/android-sdk-macosx/tools && ./android 

Answer 2

./android is not available now.

The "android" command is deprecated. For manual SDK, AVD, and project management, please use Android Studio. For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager

admindeMacBook-Pro-3:sdk gongzelong$ cd tools/ admindeMacBook-Pro-3:tools gongzelong$ ./android  ************************************************************************* The "android" command is deprecated.

We could use ./SDK_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager instead.
