How do I solve this error with gradle in ReactNative on Linux?

Note: I actually just solved this and I am posting my solution here since it was a vague error message that took some time to solve. Hopefully, I can help out one other person!

> react-native run-android Starting JS server... Building and installing the app on the device (cd android && ./gradlew installDebug)... Could not install the app on the device, read the error above for details. Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have set up your Android development environment: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-setup.html

Looking around online, I saw similar error messages, but which were more verbose and solved in other ways. My solution is luckily simple, and it's in the answer below!

Do you have an actual device or a emulator connected? In case you don't refer the setup of GenyMotion (https://www.genymotion.com/download/) and once done create an emulator. This should solve your issue. Let me know if you still face the problem

Just make ./android/gradlew an executable. (chmod +x android/gradlew)

You can test that it's working with cd android && ./gradlew

This was eventualy solved by just trying ./gradlew and getting the more telling error message that it needs to be executable.

Good luck with the rest of your project, if you stumbled into this error!
