sudo echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/lubuntu/Tools/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
adb exists in /home/lubuntu/Tools/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
Then I executed adb start-server:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
Then sudo adb install test.apk
sudo: adb: command not found
I have added adb in the environment variable $PATH, but sudo couldn’t find it.
Why?
sudomeans you’re switching to root, and that does not necessarily mean that your environment comes along. That could be dangerous.At your risk, add the
-Eoption to inherit the calling environment.
