How To Fix sdkmanager: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu sdkmanager is provided by sdkmanager package.

sdkmanager is:

A drop-in replacement for sdkmanager from the Android SDK written in Python. It implements the exact API of the sdkmanager (https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/sdkmanager) command line. It only deviates from that API if it can be done while being 100% compatible.

The project also attempts to maintain the same terminal output so it can be compatible with things that scrape sdkmanager output.
