How to open then the Android SDK Manager through the terminal? [duplicate]

Question

I have CD'd into my android tools directory in the terminal. I tried typing 'android' and hitting enter and I also tried typing 'android sdk' and hitting enter but the sdk manager would not come up.

Any solutions or advice to help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

From outside the tools directory (obviously, you need to change to suit your path taste):

$ sudo /opt/android-sdk-macosx/tools/android

From within the tools directory (note the leading dot and slash):

$ cd /opt/android-sdk-macosx/tools/
$ sudo ./android

Related: you should have both ANDROID_SDK_ROOT and ANDROID_NDK_ROOT set in your environment. ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is used by the (now deprecated) ddms program. ANDROID_NDK_ROOT is used by various NDK tools. See Recommended NDK Directory? on the Android NDK user list.
