In the installation instructions for Android Studio they say:
3. [OPTIONAL] Add "{installation home}/bin" to your PATH environment
variable so that you may start Android Studio from any directory.
I did that according to this Stack Overflow question. But how do I start it now? The problem is I need to execute a shell script studio.sh
and I am afraid these are not visible for the PATH
variable.
I should be able to call it in any directory in terminal by calling just studio.sh
.
EDIT: more info
studio.sh
runs the Android Studio
I followed the official installation instruction which came with the android-studio zip file (form official website).
I added
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Installs/android-studio/bin
at the end of ~/.profile
.
Adding more outputs:
$ ls -l $HOME/Installs/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 roman roman 6985 bře 21 18:26 /home/roman/Installs/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
$ echo $PATH
/home/roman/bin:/home/roman/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/roman/Installs/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
$ type studio.sh
bash: type: studio.sh: not found

This is the last item in your PATH:
The problem is that items in the PATH need to be directories but you've added a file. I'm not sure how this happened since it doesn't match the
export PATH=...
line you posted.
