Okay so I made a game using Libgdx and I intended it to be a android app(which is why i use android studio) but I want to let my friend without android phones try it out. The project is already setup for both desktop and android so is there any way to export this as a executable jar file?

Type the command below in the terminal. Remember that you have to be in your LibGDX root directory, before issuing this command.
