How to startd the AVD manager without starting android studio Use AVD Manager without Starting Android Studio this question is the same as mine, but the answer does nt work for me. There's no executable to launchd AVD manager on my SDK directory (I'm on ubuntu). Could it be that things changed? The only thing I can find is /home/lz/Android/Sdk/tools/bin/avdmanager which is just a command line script, not the GUI that I want to launchd
It is just the android avd command, where the android shell script is in the tools/ directory of your SDK installation.

Or go to the directory and 

cd ~/Android/Sdk/tools/bin/ 
./avdmanager


Documentation can be found (deprecated) but it works for me

I hope it will be useful
