.common.exceptions.SelendroidException: Environment variable 'ANDROID_HOME' was not found!

[samuraii]

Hello, I saw some topics on this issue here, but there was not found any step-to-follow 100% solutions. The reason for such behavior was not explained also, so I have to add this new topic here.

My system Ubuntu 18.04

I have my $ANDROID_PATH, Path to tools and so on as I use emulators to run appium. Here my appium-doctor output:

Appium Doctor v.1.8.0

info AppiumDoctor ### Diagnostic for necessary dependencies starting ###

info AppiumDoctor  ✔ The Node.js binary was found at: /usr/bin/node

info AppiumDoctor  ✔ Node version is 10.15.0

info AppiumDoctor  ✔ ANDROID_HOME is set to: /home/appium/Android/Sdk

info AppiumDoctor  ✔ JAVA_HOME is set to: /usr/bin/java

info AppiumDoctor  ✔ adb exists at: /home/appium/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb

info AppiumDoctor  ✔ android exists at: /home/appium/Android/Sdk/tools/android

info AppiumDoctor  ✔ emulator exists at: /home/appium/Android/Sdk/tools/emulator

WARN AppiumDoctor  ✖ Bin directory for $JAVA_HOME is not set

I downloaded and try to run Selendroid with: java -jar Downloads/selendroid-standalone-0.17.0-with-dependencies.jar

And I get this:

I believe that something is really wrong with this jar. Could anyone provede a step to follow solution on this?
