How to set ANDROID_HOME path in Ubuntu

I am working with Appium (beginner). I have to connect the device connected using USB with Appium. I am using Ubuntu 16.04.

My questions are how to find and set ANDROID_HOME path.

Before anything download the Android SDK, unzip that file into your home folder then open your $HOME/.bashrc file and add the following lines to locate that folder and set your ANDROID_HOME:

nano $HOME/.bashrc

Now add these lines:

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Now close the current terminal and open a new one. Run echo $ANDROID_HOME and you should see that added path.

Again, make sure you download the one for Linux, not the Windows version.

This only works for the current terminal session. – Shahid Karimi Apr 27 '21 at 19:26
@shahidkarimi how so? – George Udosen Apr 27 '21 at 20:23
@Shahid Karimi, do "source $HOME/.bashrc" to apply it across the board. – Gavin Simpson Nov 18 '21 at 08:31
