Following the directions to build AOSP, everything seems to go fine. I run:

. ./build/envsetup.sh
lunch sdk_phone_x86_64-userdebug
make
m

That seems to go fine.

Then the instructions say simply to run emulator.

user@hostname:~/WORKING_DIRECTORY$ emulator
INFO    | Android emulator version 31.3.9.0 (build_id 9070145) (CL:N/A)
ERROR   | No AVD specified. Use '@foo' or '-avd foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'

user@hostname:~/WORKING_DIRECTORY$ emulator -list-avds

Nothing is listed. So I feel like the instructions are missing a step? How do I create an AVD?

So, I found some more instructions that say:

avdmanager create avd -n test -k "system-images;android-25;google_apis;x86"

But I'm not sure where the system[...] came from, but more importantly when I try that:

avdmanager: command not found

So again, I feel I'm missing a step.

I'm looking for a COMPLETE set of steps, from soup to nuts, to compile AOSP and run the emulator. I would like to do this from the command line and avoid having to install Android Studio.

Details on my machine:

$ lsb_release -a

  • You should be able to download command-line tools from the official Android Developer site down below, then download a system image using sdkmanager, then run the emulator using avdmanager.

  • thanks @AndrewT. i'll run with that because it's all i've got, but i really am looking for COMPLETE, WORKING INSTRUCTIONS. so i go download cmdline-tools, ok i'm smart enough to unzip it, but then what? do i add the bin to my path? or do they need to be copied somewhere else? are there any library paths that need to be set? if so how? etc...

  • again @AndrewT. i need COMPLETE instructions. $ avdmanager ERROR: JAVA_HOME is not set and no 'java' command could be found in your PATH. Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the location of your Java installation.
