Before march 2017 I used android avd command to open AVD manager on Linux from the command line. It does not work anymore:

$ Android/Sdk/tools/android avd
The android command is no longer available.
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager

How do I open the new AVD manager on Linux from the command line?

Looks like impossible now. Why do you need it? – Eugen Martynov Mar 15 '17 at 11:00
to configure a virtual device on my laptop. I can't start it with Android Studio either. – Guillaume Vincent Mar 15 '17 at 11:50
Then use `tools/bin/avdmanager` from `ANDROID_HOME` – Eugen Martynov Mar 15 '17 at 12:12
thank you, but this doesn't open the AVD manager neither – Guillaume Vincent Mar 15 '17 at 15:36
It should not it is command line tool to create avd images – Eugen Martynov Mar 15 '17 at 15:37

so `tools/bin/avdmanager` do not open AVD manager, and my question is how to open AVD manager. I can't launch anymore the AVD manager wizard. so like you said "Looks like impossible now" – Guillaume Vincent Mar 15 '17 at 16:08
Looks like we are in the loop. You said you want to configure virtual device on your laptop. With `tools/bin/avdmanager` you can create a new image or overwrite the existing image – Eugen Martynov Mar 15 '17 at 16:14
