Android - Command not found

Question

I am trying to run the command in ubuntu

android update project --path .

However I am getting a android:command not found

Answer 1

Another possibility is simply that your "android" file is not executable. Navigate to the tools path in terminal and then make it executable by:
chmod 777 android
Then you can run:
./android sdk
It's what worked for me.

Answer 2

1. Uninstall cask android-platform-tools

   brew cask uninstall android-platform-tools
   

2. Install it using Android Studio

Answer 3

That's because your platforms and platform-tools are not in the PATH environment variable. You can run the adb command with path-to-adb/adb or add platforms and platform-tools to PATH and run typing only adb

This is my path environment variable:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.5.3:/opt/android-sdk-update-manager/tools:/opt/android-sdk-update-manager/platform-tools

Answer 4

android is now inside android-sdks/tools

if you are using mac, you may set your .bash_profile to include it.

PATH=$PATH:[android-sdks]/platform-tools:[android-sdks]/tools

Answer 5

Sometimes even after you add your android_sdk/ dir path from command line it still doesn't work and gives the command not found error, in that case follow these steps. I ran through this issue myself and i tried all the above steps and none worked so i thought i should share and perhaps that might help somebody.
( android-sdk-linux is the name of android sdk library which you have extracted ).

1) Open the bashrc file from command line

gedit ~/.bashrc

2) Add following lines at the top.

export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

3) Log out of the system and log back in. Type Ctrl + Alt + T to open command line and type android to launch the software.

Answer 6

After installing Android studio. Create or edit your ~/.bashrc file and add the following lines:

export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools

and reload .bashrc

source ~/.bashrc
