The Android SDK isn't installed or it's not configured properly

See original GitHub issue

So, I’m definitely moving from Windows 7 to Linux Mint 18.3. I followed all the necessary steps to get NS running as described here https://docs.nativescript.org/start/ns-setup-linux.

When I run tns run android, this is the output:

✔ Your ANDROID_HOME environment variable is set and points to correct directory.
✔ A compatible Android SDK for compilation is found.
✔ Javac is installed and is configured properly.
✔ The Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed and is configured properly.
✔ Local builds for iOS can be executed only on a macOS system. To build for iOS on a different operating system, you can use the NativeScript cloud infrastructure.
✖ WARNING: adb from the Android SDK is not installed or is not configured properly.  
 For Android-related operations, the NativeScript CLI will use a built-in version of adb.
To avoid possible issues with the native Android emulator, Genymotion or connected
Android devices, verify that you have installed the latest Android SDK and
its dependencies as described in http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Requirements 

✖ WARNING: The Android SDK is not installed or is not configured properly. 
 You will not be able to run your apps in the native emulator. To be able to run apps
in the native Android emulator, verify that you have installed the latest Android SDK 
and its dependencies as described in http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

i’m pretty sure the Android SDK is installed.

Hopefully this will help someone, on my machine all the Android SDKs/ADB were installed in my /Users folder (probably because I already had Android Studio installed).

I fixed it by setting the Android home path to point to the /Users/ sdk by running:

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/zleighton/Library/Android/sdk

After that tns doctor reported everything OK.

@Fatme I think it was probably because I was using Linux 32-bit and google doesn’t support this architecture but I didn’t know that. But now I’m using a 64-bit Debian and I can’t even install the required runtime libraries, so I’m definitely giving up on NS and moving to React Native. Thanks for your help.
