I go to <android-sdk>/tools/ , I see there is one file named " uiautomatorviewer ",

I execute command uiautomatorviewer from terminal under the above path, however I got the following message:

uiautomatorviewer: command not found
                This answer is outdated (although it was current when posted). Still, this same location is still used in google's official instructions here: developer.android.com/training/testing/ui-testing/… . @CommonsWare do you know what is the procedure to alter this documentation?

                @BorisStrandjev: "do you know what is the procedure to alter this documentation?" -- file an issue, then pray that Google pays attention to it.

                Now the question is how do I open an issue about their issue creation form not working (component dropdown does not load anything in Chrome for Linux) :) At least my prayers are spared

Navigate to tools folder, then launch terminal, launch monitor(Android Device Monitor) using ./monitor command.
ADM will get launched, left side of the window you may find .
Just follow these steps,
Open command prompt,Go to your bin folder inside tools folder of sdk location.
Example: C:\android-sdk\android-sdk\tools\bin.
Then in cmd type uiautomatorviewer and hit enter. It would immedialy open UI Automator Viewer.
C:\android-sdk\android-sdk\tools\bin>uiautomatorviewer
Refer screenshot
                I Get the following error, and I don't understand what I am doing wrong (Bash on Ubuntu): -Djava.ext.dirs=<android-sdk>/tools/lib/x86_64:<android-sdk>/tools/lib is not supported.  Use -classpath instead. Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

First, follow this tutorial to add ANDROID_HOME and Path variables.
Setup Android Environment Variables
Then, add this variable as variables in the tutorial.
Variable name: JAVA_HOME
Variable value: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_171
Now you can run uiautomatorviewer in
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin.
It's path issue only so don't worry
just put this path "%ANDROID_HOME%\tools\bin" in your system path.
Now you can run uiautomatorviewer

For anyone trying to find it still on a fresh Android SDK download: this has been removed from the standard tools in API level 27. To install it, uncheck "Hide Obsolete Packages" and select "Android SDK Tools (Obsolete)" v 26.1.1..
and after this point, see other answers here.
See the Deprecation notice for more info, there's no explicit mention of uiautomatorviewer removal, but after 9 major releases (if you don't see 9+ yet, see here) of Command Line tools there's no sign of it in the cmdline-tools/latest folder.
