Follow below steps, you will end up having an android emulator on your machine, without Android studio.
1. Install android studio cli (required java>=11 as it needs class fomat version 55)
2. unzip it, create folder "tools" inside "cmdline-tools", copy all content of "cmdline-tools" to "tools" folder; and open terminal on bin folder.
3. run-> sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-30" "build-tools;30.0.2"
(here I specified the versions but you can choose yours, try "sdkmanager --list", to see all versions)
4. add to environment_variable_path_for_User -> your_installation_location\cmdline-tools\platform-tools
5. run -> sdkmanager "system-images;android-33;google_apis_playstore;x86_64"
6. run -> avdmanager create avd --force --name "Custom_pxl_7_pro_API_33" --abi google_apis_playstore/x86_64 --package "system-images;android-33;google_apis_playstore;x86_64"
(you can give any name to your emulator instead of "Custom_pxl_7_pro_API_33")
# Done, your emulator is ready. Lets fire it up.
Open the terminal on "your_installation_location\cmdline-tools\emulator",and run-> emulator @Custom_pxl_7_pro_API_33
# Below parts are optional
7. change in _>C:\Users\Admin\.android\avd\Custom_pxl_7_pro_API_33.avd\config.ini
# this is to modify configuration of your emulator
/* replicate Pixel Pro 7 */
