Setting ANDROID_HOME variable globally on PhpStorm / WebStorm on Linux

Question

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

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:

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

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
