Lime setup android error: chmod: ~/.android: No such file or directory

Help
#1

When I run “sudo lime setup android” I eventually get the following error:

~/.android: No such file or directory
Uncaught exception - Error running: chmod -R 777 ~/.android []

This error happens right after the Android SDK Manager installs the packages then closes.

here is the whole log.

Try and install current versions of the Android NDK and SDK manually, then run lime setup android and say “n” when it asks if you want to install it, and it should prompt for the path where it is installed. Enter the location of where you installed them, then try to do Android builds

Hi, thanks for the reply. I attempted what you mentioned. When I try to build afterwards with “lime build android -v -debug” I get this error:

Error: Source path "/Users/marcrenaud/Documents/Repositories/cat/lime/ndll/Android/liblime-v7.so" does not exist

If you are working from source, run lime rebuild android once you have paths to your Android NDK and SDK configured :slight_smile:
