Trying to add adb to PATH variable OSX
adb, android, macos
Solution
Why are you trying to run "./adb"? That skips the path variable entirely and only looks for "adb" in the current directory. Try running "adb" instead.
Edit: your path looks wrong. You say you get
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/Libs/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools:/Libs/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools
You're missing the /Users/simon part.
Also note that if you have both .profile and .bash_profile files, only the latter gets executed.
Problem
I am trying to develop for android and I want to add the `adb` to my `PATH` so that I can launch it really easily. I have added directories before by for some reason `adb` does not want to be found. This is very frustrating. Has anyone else had this problem before? I created a file `.profile` and added the following to it. ``` export PATH = ${PATH}:/Users/simon/Libs/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools/ export PATH = ${PATH}:/Users/simon/Libs/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools ``` When I check my environment path I see the following: ``` /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/Libs/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools:/Libs/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools ``` So I know that it is added to my `PATH` variable. Now when I try to run `adb` I get that it is not found. ``` -bash: ./adb: No such file or directory ``` This is very very frustrating. Could it be a problem with permissions? Has anyone had this problem with OSX and Android?
