permission denied error while trying to insttall android sdk build tools

Question

My production project is in such a way that it need to have Android sdk 21 to work with cordova. But when I tried to download the build package 21.1.2 from android sdk manager, it says permission is denied.

URL not found: /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/temp/build-tools_r21.1.2-linux.zip (Permission denied)

I get the Android sdk manager by typing android in my command line. Now when I type sudo android . It says command not found. Also is there any way that I could just install 21 version of the build package

If you're launching the SDK manager from a command line, precede this line with `sudo` — Guillaume Munsch, Jul 02 '15 at 13:04
