'No command 'adb' found' error on Ubuntu [duplicate]

Answer 1

I'm not sure what this line did and why I had to do that ('cuz the blogs say its some 32-bit libraries and I am on a 64-bit machine). But it seems to be working for me.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

When I executed this command, it installed/added some stuff for about 5 minutes (literally) and then everything worked.

Answer 2

You are in the right directory but the current directory is not in your shell's command search path.

Try

./adb

Also search Google for how to set $PATH variable in bash

Type the following into your terminal (from your help.ubuntu.com URL) - it will temporarily add the android tool directories into your PATH for that shell/terminal

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

You should now be able to run adb (without being in the right dir and without using ./adb)

If you add those commands into your .bashrc and start a new terminal/shell you should find those changes are now permanent.

Answer 3

In platform-tools folder "adb" is available then follow these steps:

Set android vars

Initially go to your home and press Ctrl + H it will show you hidden files now look for .bashrc file, open it with any text editor then place the lines below at the end of file:

export ANDROID_HOME=/myPathSdk/android-sdk-linux export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Now Reboot the system

It Works!

Answer 4

Make sure you installed:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

Now check:

sudo adb

It will show adb help.

Now please kill/start adb. Use the following commands:

sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server

Lastly, do:

sudo adb devices

This should work.

Answer 5

(My system is ubuntu 16.10)

This will make the android studio to find the adb-->

1) Open with gedit: (ref:https://askubuntu.com/questions/127056/where-is-bashrc)

gedit ~/.bashrc

2) Add this line to the bottom of your.bashrc and it works.

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME"/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools" (ref: https://askubuntu.com/questions/652936/adding-android-sdk-platform-tools-to-path-downloaded-from-umake)

Restart the android studio
