Trying to add adb to PATH variable OSX

Add to PATH for every login

Total control version:

in your terminal, navigate to home directory

cd

create file .bash_profile

touch .bash_profile

open file with TextEdit

open -e .bash_profile

insert line into TextEdit

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

save file and reload file

source ~/.bash_profile

check if adb was set into path

adb version


One liner version

Echo your export command and redirect the output to be appended to .bash_profile file and restart terminal. (have not verified this but should work)

echo “export PATH=$PATH:/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/
sdk/platform-tools/” >> ~/.bash_profile
