Although the above answers mostly get them right, there is one slight issue with them all.. Follow these steps and you are good to go

1. Right click on This PC -> Properties
2. On the left pane select "Advanced System Settings"
3. On the new window select -> Advanced tab
4. Click on the "Environment Variables" button
5. On the first top section click on the "New" button

set variable name -> ANDROID_HOME

set variable value -> the custom location of the Android SDK

6. Now click on the newly created variable name and in the box below select "Path" and click on the Edit button
7. Now click on New and paste the location of the "platform-tools"
8. Again click on New and paste the location of the "tools" You can find the locations of the above platform-tools and tools - they are generally inside the Android SDK folder
9. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL...

   save all those by clicking ok If you are using the terminal(cmd) close it and open it again
