From the sdk manager you can easily tick the checkboxes and you get system images (for instance, ARM EABI v7a System Image) installed and available to create AVDs.
My problem is that the system where I'm trying to create an AVD is headless and so I cannot open the sdk manager. I'm force to install system images from the command line.
It was easy to install targets by running $ android update sdk --no-ui (all targets where installed actually but without system images except of the newest target "android-17"). Now, how do I install system images for "android-15"?
When I try $ android update sdk --no-ui --filter "sysimg-15" the result is
Error: Ignoring unknown package filter 'sysimg-15'.
Warning: The package filter removed all packages. There is nothing to install.
Please consider trying to update again without a package filter.
Unfortunately google/stackoverflow didn't help me.

Starting the emulator Use the emulator command to start the emulator, as an alternative to running your project or starting it through the AVD Manager. Here's the basic command-line syntax for starting a virtual device from a terminal prompt: emulator -avd avd_name [ {- option [ value ]} … ]
The Android SDK Command-Line Tools package contains various tools for building and debugging Android apps. It is released concurrently with Android Studio and is installed in the android_sdk /cmdline-tools/ version /bin/ directory.
Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile command-line tool that lets you communicate with a device. The adb command facilitates a variety of device actions, such as installing and debugging apps, and it provides access to a Unix shell that you can use to run a variety of commands on a device.
The option --all or -a is the answer:
android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter "sysimg-15"
Not including --all, the android updater takes only the latest package (sysimg-17) into account ignoring older packages. Including all packages with -a allows you to filter (and so get installed) any sysimg.
