I'm trying to create android emulator with only command line tools.

I've downloaded sdkmanager and successfully installed "platform"

sdkmanager "platforms;android-25". But I can't install system image, because sdkmanager --list gives this

system-images;a...ult;armeabi-v7a | 4            | ARM EABI v7a System Image        
  system-images;a...-10;default;x86 | 4            | Intel x86 Atom System Image      
  system-images;a...pis;armeabi-v7a | 5            | Google APIs ARM EABI v7a Syste...

Someone decided that I don't need to see full names of packages that I want to install. But at the same time when trying to install something from this list sdkmanager seems to think otherwise.

In addition to the comment you received, you could also use the "android" script located in the tools folder, here is the output on my machine (I have truncated the output):

[user@pc:~/sdk/tools]
└─ $ ▶ ./android list sdk

******************************************************************
The "android" command is deprecated.
For manual SDK, AVD, and project management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager
*********************************************************************
"android" SDK commands can be translated to sdkmanager commands on a 
best-effort basis.
Continue? (This prompt can be suppressed with the --use-sdk-wrapper 
command-line argument
or by setting the USE_SDK_WRAPPER environment variable) [y/N]: y

To make sure we are on the same page:

  • I have downloaded the file tools_r25.2.3-linux.zip from this site. Unzipped it into ~/sdk

  • I have this packages installed using the tools/sdkmanager:

build-tools;24.0.3
build-tools/25.0.2
emulator | 26.0.0
platform-tools | 25.0.4
platforms;android-24 | 2
platforms;android-25 | 3
tools | 26.0.1

Edit: After reading the whole command output, it turns out that you could also use the --verbose flag:

[user@pc:~/sdk/tools]
└─ $ ▶ sdkmanager --list --verbose
