Sudo android return "sudo: android: command not found"

I use Ubuntu 15.04 - Gnome,

For any reason when I try to execute the function "Android" its return

bash: /opt/android-sdk-linux/tools/android: Permission denied

and when I type sudo android the bash return

sudo: android: command not found

Any solution? This can affect to "Cordova"?

Thanks in advance.

There is an unknown group (gid 5000) and an unknown user (uid 249512) and ... I guess ... you are not the user with the uid 249512.

Set the permissions - everything in /opt should have the owner root and the group root:

sudo chown -R root:root /opt/android-sdk-linux

Set the executable rights:

sudo chmod 755 /opt/android-sdk-linux/tools/android

Run the script with sudo rights (a very bad idea)

sudo /opt/android-sdk-linux/tools/android

so better change the directory

cd /opt/android-sdk-linux/tools; sudo ./android

If /opt/android-sdk-linux/tools/ is in your PATH this will work too:

sudo android 

And once again: Using sudo to run this application is not necessary and a VERY bad idea!

But I suspect that there are additional problems with other files in your /opt/android-sdk-linux installation.
