Please help me

Answer 1

do like for emulator permission settings

chmod +x /Users/MyUserName/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator64-x86

chmod +x /Users/MyUserName/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator

chmod +x /Users/MyUserName/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator-x86

Answer 2

Maybe you have some permissions issues, you need to have the permission x (execute) for the emulator. Try:

ls -l /home/sudhir/Android/Sdk/tools/

And check if you have the execute permissions on the emulator. If not, try:

chmod +x emulator64-x86

Well, hope it helps.
