sharief@sharief-desktop:/bin$

can anyone help me how to set this command in this path?

[jettlagg]

you can execute the command by typing the path with the command if you know where it is,

to add a directory to the path do

"PATH=$PATH:/directory/subdirectory/"

[shariefbe]

yes i tried this

export PATH=$PATH:/home/sharief/Desktop/SDK/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3/tools/emulator

but still i am getting the same error message..

echo $PATH

to verify that you set the path to what you intended, and check
the directory to be sure the command you want to run is actually
there.

ls -l

to see if it is executable

Now its works fine. Thank you

sharief@sharief-desktop:~/Desktop/SDK/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3/tools$ export PATH=$PATH:/home/sharief/Desktop/SDK/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3/tools/android
