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
Why are you trying to run "./adb"? That skips the path variable entirely and only looks for "adb" in the current directory. Try running "adb" instead.
Edit: your path looks wrong. You say you get
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/Libs/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools:/Libs/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools
You're missing the /Users/simon part.
Also note that if you have both .profile and .bash_profile files, only the latter gets executed.
On my Macbook Pro, I've added the export lines to ~/.bash_profile, not .profile.
e.g.
export PATH=/Users/me/android-sdk-mac_86/platform-tools:/Users/me/android-sdk-mac_86/tools:$PATH
Alternative: Install adb the easy way
If you don't want to have to worry about your path or updating adb manually, you can use homebrew instead.
brew cask install android-platform-tools
