Setting ANDROID_HOME variable globally on PhpStorm / WebStorm on Linux

PhpStorm / Webstorm on Linux didn't mentioned the System-ENV Variables. So even if you have export ANDROID_HOME in your .bashrc or .bash_profiles, this Variable is not usable in PhpStorm.

Currently I need it to run react-native packager:

"start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js run-android"

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

    SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable

So what is the easiest way to fix this globally and permanent for the Project

When being launched from desktop/System menu, PhpStorm only sees environment variables configured in ~/.profile (login shell), but not in interactive shell configuration files (like ~/.bashhrc). Possible workarounds:

  • Workaround 1: make required variables available in a login shell (i.e. for bash, move them from .bashrc to .bash_profile).
  • Workaround 2: run IDE from a terminal, via bin/phpstorm.sh
  • Workaround 3: edit the desktop launcher and set command to /bin/bash -l -i -c "/path/to/phpstorm.sh"

And one more thing to check: make sure that Include parent environment variables checkbox is ticked in your Run configuration, Environment variables dialog

There are two ways.

First (but not best) is to set the Enviroment-Variable for each Script-Entry in the Edit Run/Debug Configuration settings:

Better way is to set it globally per Project. To do this, do the following steps:

  1. Open your Project
  2. Browse to the /android Directory in your Project
  3. Create a file named: local.properties
  4. Insert sdk.dir=<pathToYourAndroidSDKgoesHere>
