Extract the SDK to your home directory (if you’re not sharing it with other users, otherwise, extract in a shared folder like /opt and open up the permissions)
Open a terminal and navigate to the tools/ directory in the Android SDK, then execute ./android sdk
I’ve spent the entire day trying to load the sdk to my Ubuntu. I’m currently stuck trying to extract and move the file to my home directory. I used from my downloads folder tar -xvsf android-sdk_r21.0.1-linux.tgz && mv android-sdk-linux ~/ and getting tar (child): android-sdk_r21.0.1-linux.tgz: Cannot open: No such file or directory. tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I’m new to linux using Ubuntu lts version and would like to learn to program in C then Java.
If you would help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Robyn

Robyn,
I think you should use “tar -xvzf” instead of “-xvsf” to extract the contents of the archive.

Looks like Google now has the ADT bundle in one package which you can download and extract.

Also, my post is a bit outdated already. Google has improved their documentation and has provided a convenient bundle for ADT: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/bundle.html
You should try this out instead.
