Where to install Android SDK on Mac OS X?

Question

Where should the Android SDK be installed on Mac OS X?

Answer 1

You can install android-sdk in different ways

1. homebrew
   Install brew using command from brew.sh

   /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"  
   

   Install android-sdk using

   brew install android-sdk
   

   Now android-sdk will be installed in /usr/local/opt/android-sdk

   export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/opt/android-sdk
   

2. If you installed android studio following the website,
   android-sdk will be installed in ~/Library/Android/sdk

   export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
   

I think these defaults make sense and its better to stick to it
