Hello all,
I am newbee of playframwork. i'm using ubuntu 16.04 to develop application.
whatsoever, i'm trying to install playframework in my pc, i see a official tutorial on playframework,
that's really cool but there are no clear view on installation.

I found some other tutorial on youtube and some blog, 
i try to install activator in my pc, Therefor i download play framework 2.5.3 with activator (offline distribution).

i extract the zip file in home directory 


and add a path variable in /etc/profile


but still terminal not found activator



Is there any complete tutorial about play framework installation??

The official instructions are here: https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.5.x/Installing

In the image you sent, the ACTIVATOR_HOME variable doesn't really make sense. You probably want something like:

  export ACTIVATOR_HOME="/usr/local/activator" # (path to wherever you installed activator)
  export PATH="$ACTIVATOR_HOME:$PATH"

That will actually add activator to your path.

     export PATH=$PATH:<your path>/bin/
    save and restart
because activator is in bin folder
