You can easily replace <user> with $USER in the script. That will make things easier since we don't have to replace the any more... It will automatically get the current user ;)

This worked flawlessly thank you so much!

Thank you, was useful!

java 11 version?

+1000000

Also, the android call on L16 can be changed to sdkmanager, since android as a command is deprecated

Thank you so much!!!

i am getting this error

@Kousthubh02
/usr/bin/java is a symlink. I get the following:

ls -l $(which java)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 28 23:07 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java
ls -l /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Jan 28 23:07 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64

what does echo $JAVA_HOME give you?
You may need to add export JAVA_HOME=\path\to\java\install\location to your ~/.bashrc file and add export PATH=\path\to\java\install\location\bin;"$PATH" as well.

@5p0ng3b0b please can you confirm is the original gist above still works Aug 15th, 2024
I have been following different threads and gists referencing StackOverflow, in the StackOverflow, they are saying different things

for example you are suppose to move tools into cmdline-tools, only for an updated comment saying a new thing
i am so confused right now
