Answer 1

I found this while googling the issue with android licences when installing Flutter.

For Linux, update Your ~/.bashrc (or other shell config) file by adding this line at the end:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/android-studio/jre

Note: I installed Android studio by following the official installation guide for Linux (link).

For Windows, use the android studio's path to the jre directory and update the environment variable with the right value.

Then, run flutter doctor --android-licenses and press y to review the licences which are not accepted. Press y for each of the licences. It will ask Accept? (y/N): at the end of the license file. After You accept all unaccepted licences, You should see:

All SDK package licenses accepted

Answer 2

JAVA_HOME should point to the home jdk directory, and not to jdk/bin directory.

You need to set the JAVA_HOME like this:

JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131"

Answer 3

I am using using Ubuntu.

Problem for me solved by using sudo in terminal with the command.

Answer 4

Try the following:

• Remove \bin from JAVA_HOME path.
• Open new command line window.
• Run your command as an administrator.

Answer 5

After setting the JAVA_HOME variable, run android studio as administrator

Answer 6

On Window 10, the problem was with the semicolon ;.

Go to edit the system environment variables and delete the semicolon at the end of JAVA_HOME value C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144

In other words, convert this C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_12; to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_12

You might have to delete your entry in the Windows Dialog and create a new one. If you ever had multiple entries and get the bigger Form view, Windows automatically inserts a ; at the end of each entry, even if you only have one entry left.
