Firstly you need to download the android sdk. An easy way to download it is to get Android Studio and use the sdkmanager to download it. After you downloaded the SDK you need to add it to your PATH variable.

PATH variable on linux

export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools

Replace /path/to/Android/Sdk with the actual path. To make it permanent add the lines to you bashrc file.

Create a new variable named ANDROID_HOME
Set its value to your Android directory, like C:/users//.android

Replace C:/users//.android with the actual path.
