Run android emulator on headless linux machine

I am trying to run android emulator on my linux headless machine. I install android sdk, required platofrms and so on. I already created android avd using following command 

android create avd -n TestDevice4.4.2 -t 17 ( 17 is id of from targets list )

Now i try to start emulator by following command 

emulator -avd TestDevice4.4.2 -no-skin -no-window

And i got the following error on my terminal.

/home/ubuntu/sdk-android/tools/emulator64-arm: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Since it is the first time setting up from termial in headless linux machine, i faced several issues. I can't figure out what's going on with this one. Appreciate your help :-)

EDITED
I've seen similar issues here. I had to install following library and create symbolink in sdk/tools/lib dir.

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1.2.0 libGL.so

After done these steps, i start emulator again. i got following problem :-(

sh: 1: glxinfo: not found emulator: ERROR: This AVD's configuration is missing a kernel file!! emulator: ERROR: ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is undefined

For each version of Android you want to run, install at least:

1) Platform SDK (eg 17 for 4.2 version)

2) A system image for the emulator (eg ARM EABI v7a System Image )
