adb command not found in linux environment

Question

While implementing the BluetoothChat application .apk inside G1 device, it always pops up a message:

$adb install -r /home/parveen/workspace/BluetoothChat/bi         


        

Answer 1

updating the $PATH did not work for me, therefore I added a symbolic link to adb to make it work, as follows:

ln -s /platform-tools/adb /tools/adb
