I had issues during the process too, but it was more of an issue on my laptop.

each time I start Terminal, I have to run this cmd:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/ken/AndroidSDK/tools

I'm trying to figure out what I need to edit so it's permanent. according to http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html I need to edit the .bash_profile, but I'm not having any luck

  • On Linux, edit your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc file. Look for a line that sets the PATH environment variable and add the full path to the tools/ directory to it. If you don't see a line setting the path, you can add one:
    • export PATH=${PATH}:<your_sdk_dir>/tools
Also, when trying to enter adb commands, I kept getting an error saying insufficient permissions for device. I google & found out I needed to start-server w/ root (pc) access.

I need to figure out how to make this permanent too.....oh, it's so fun learning linux...
