Why can't I run the android emulator? java.io.IOException: error=13, Permission denied

Question

I have installed everything like I was told to by the android website and all I keep getting after I create my avd is:

Failed to start emulator: Cannot run progr         


        

Answer 1

try to run these commands in terminal: Navigate to your android tools folder (for me it's Android-SDK/tools/), then type:

chmod +x emulator
chmod +x ddms
