(basic?) apktool help needed (linux)

Hi all,
I've been working on this problem for a while now and can't figure it out... I've set my paths, but when I try to run "./apktool b out", I get these errors. The main error seems to be "could not exec command: [aapt"
Any help would be appreciated.
Environment:
Code:
[email protected]:~/Desktop/Android$ echo $ADB
/home/user/apktool/
[email protected]:~/Desktop/Android$ ls /home/user/apktool/
aapt apktool framework
[email protected]:~/Desktop/Android$ ls .
aapt apktool apktool.jar out

Please delete thread, I fixed my issue. But for future people: I didn't place files in /usr/local/bin, then the files were not chmod'ed correctly.

decompiling error is caused by wrong framework being used - You wont be able to recompile because the resources were not decompiled
Make sure you use correct framework-res.apk - This may not always be the one that comes with the rom as it may of been compiled with jellybean framework
You can try loading this framework and then try to decompile

framework install is normal - thats fine no problem there
recompile is because you have typed in the incorrect commands
the command should be (assuming the command prompt is at the correct location)
apktool b NameOfDecompiledFolder NameYouWantForNewApk.apk
eg
apktool b mydecompiledsystemui mynewsystemui.apk

[Q] Ant Debuging

A newbie learning app development. I'm a beginner and while running the ant debugger I ran into an error. I'm building from the terminal, error says that aapt is not there but I physically found it in the right directory. Still I get the following error. I'd appreciate the help so I can get to the next step. BUILD FAILED

Huawei SystemUI's can't be decompiled, Huawei doesn't want us to mess with their stuff.

I understood, but there must be a way, they do their Huawei and we do not.
