Meteor on Ubuntu WSL: PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU

On my Ubuntu/WSL installation I'm getting the following error when running meteor run android-device:

PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU.

How do I resolve this missing emulator issue?

I have checked my paths and these seem to be ok:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
export PATH=/home/user/.meteor:$PATH
export ANDROID_HOME=/etc/Android/Sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/etc/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator
export ANDROID_BIN=/opt/android-studio-2021.2.1/android-studio/bin

I can also check that I have an emulator installed:

user@ASUS-i7:/etc/Android/Sdk/tools$ ./emulator -list-avds
Pixel_5_API_30
user@ASUS-i7:/etc/Android/Sdk/tools$

Solution

  • Using the windows adb command and creating a symlink within Ubuntu solved it.

    sudo mv /etc/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb /etc/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb_bk


sudo ln -s /mnt/c/Users/44739/Downloads/platform-tools_r33.0.2-windows-adb/platform-tools/adb.exe /etc/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb
