The android tool is located in the tools directory in your SDK. You need to add this to your PATH environment variable so that bash can recognize it.

You can do this by adding it to your PATH in your .bash_profile file. This file should be located in your home directory. Create if it doesn't exist using vi .bash_profile and add the following line to it:

export PATH=<path_to_android_sdk>/platform-tools:<path_to_android_sdk>/tools:$PATH

where <path_to_android_sdk> is to be replaced with the path to your SDK. For example: "/Users/me/android-sdk-mac_86/platform-tools"

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

Answer 3

Update the path.

Open the Terminal program from Spotlight. Run the following command:

touch ~/.bash_profile; open ~/.bash_profile

Then save following code

export PATH=${PATH}:/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools:/Development/android-sdk-macosx/tools

For my case, path is

export PATH=/Users/<user-name>/Development/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools:/Users/<user-name>/Development/android-sdk-macosx/tools:$PATH 

Save the file and quit the text editor. Execute your .bash_profile to update your PATH:

source ~/.bash_profile

Then run adb.
