Line 29 ./android update -u -t 1,2,4,26,103 produces an error:
Error: Flag '-u' is not a valid global flag. Did you mean to specify it after the verb/object name?

@MacroMan I did it successfully with ./android update sdk -t 1,2,4,26,103

Thanks, with the sdk is ok, great tutorial.

instead of ./android update -u -t 1,2,4,26,103 should be ./android update --no-ui -t 1,2,4,26,103

I got

./android update -u -t 1,2,4,26,103
Error: Flag '-u' is not a valid global flag. Did you mean to specify it after the verb/object name?

and I have tried ./android update sdk -t 1,2,4,26,103 and I got following

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-pi-gtk-3550 or swt-pi-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file

Thanks a lot!

Tanks !

./android update sdk -u -t 1,2,4,26,103

SDK is missing, basically error is that its asking what to update.

sudo apt install libswt-gtk-3-java libswt-gtk-3-jni allowed me to run ./android with the GUI.

Update line 29 with:
./android update sdk -u -t 1,2,4,26,103 or all.
