I'm using Linux (fedora 16). I try to install Android SDK and ADT. Each time I want to run Android SDK or Android Emulator, I must run from Eclipse, but I don't know how run directly. (don't need to open Eclipse)

In Windows, in AndroidSDK folder has file exe so you can run directly such as AVD Manager.exe or SDK Manager.exe but not in Linux.

Please help me about this issue.

Thanks :)

You can launch android SDK manager by simply moving to android-sdk/tools folder and using the following command:

./android &

To launch the emulator, from the same folder you need to execute the following command:

./emulator -avd youravdname
