android command not found

Question

I am running ubuntu 16.04 and I have installed android-sdk using :-

sudo apt-get install android-sdk

and after installation , when i run

android

it says command not found.

I cannot even see "android-sdk" in my home folder.

When i run sudo apt-get install android-sdk command again , it says

android-sdk is already the newest version (24.3.3+2).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I even tried finding "android" in my "/home/username" directory , "root" directory.

I cannot find it.

• Uninstall actual android-sdk:

  sudo apt-get purge android-sdk
  

• Download the latest android-sdk using:

  wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.2-linux.tgz 
  

• Unpack downloaded package to your HOME directory:

  tar -xvf android-sdk_r24.2-linux.tgz
  

• Set ANDROID_HOME path

  • Open .bashrc file

    nano ~/..bashrc
    

  • Put these lines in the end of file

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

    • Restart your computer to make changes
