macbook m1: error Failed to launch emulator

Issue

I use macbook m1 and set sdk in android studio. I follow all the process: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup.

But I couldn't understand above process. when I run this command line from terminal. It says

zsh: command not found: sdkmanager

So I pass that process.

Except for that, I installed all as doc says. But when I run npx react-native run-android.

Error message below appears. what is the problem?

error Failed to launch emulator. Reason: No emulators found as an output of `emulator -list-avds`.
