I want to use dx tool. So I use the following command in terminal

dx --dex --output=classes.dex sample.jar

and I got this error

No such file or directory

I know i should set environment variable "path" and add /build-tools/x.y.z/dx to it. But even set the path doesn't resolve the error. I should mention that I can run it from /build-tools/x.y.z/ by running the command

./dx

but i need to access dx from any directory, for my project purpose. I use ubuntu 14.04 64 bit. How can I fix it?

you should add a **directory** to the `path`, not a **file**. So you add `/build-tools/x.y.z/dx`, which is a path to a **file**, but you should add only `/build-tools/x.y.z` – Vladyslav Matviienko Dec 01 '16 at 09:42
have you tried? – Vladyslav Matviienko Dec 01 '16 at 09:53
yes, I tried both version and they don't work. But I modify my script which uses this tool and modify dx with (absolute path of dex)/./dx and it works. Thanks for your suggestion – JachobTailor Dec 04 '16 at 18:53
