Answer 1

source ~/.bash_profile
export ANDROID_HOME=/YOUR_PATH_TO/android-sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH

Answer 2

Here are the steps:

1. Open Terminal
2. Type touch .bash_profile and press Enter
3. Now Type open .bash_profile and again press Enter
4. A textEdit file will be opened
5. Now type export ANDROID_HOME="Users/Your_User_Name/Library/Android/sdk"
6. Then in next line type export PATH="${PATH}:/$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:/$ANDROID_HOME/tools:/$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin"
7. Now save this .bash_profile file
8. Close the Terminal

To verify if Path is set successfully open terminal again and type adb if adb version and other details are displayed that means path is set properly.

Answer 3

The only solution worked for me was @Tiago Gouvêa answer, after adding it android and emulator commands worked fine, but sdkmanager command was not working so I have added one extra line to his solution:

nano ~/.bash_profile

Add lines:

export ANDROID_HOME=/YOUR_PATH_TO/android-sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$PATH

Answer 4

If some one is still finding difficulties, i have made a video on this

Because the new version of Apple does not support bash shell so i have explained in details how do we set variables in 2020.

Answer 5

Open Terminal

nano ~/.bash_profile


export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/qss/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH

Control+S to save
Control+X to exit
Y to save changes
Update changes in terminal
source ~/.bash_profile

Validate Path:
echo $PATH

Confirm if all okay:
adb devices
