Not able to access adb in OS X through Terminal, “

问题:

I have installed Android SDK and Eclipse on my Mac system. I am able to program using Eclipse and have created few sample applications. But I am still not able to access adb through the terminal window. I have tried following command in terminal:

$ pwd
/Users/espireinfolabs/Desktop/soft/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools

$ ls
NOTICE.txt  dexdump     llvm-rs-cc-2
aapt        dx          llvm-rs-cc.txt
adb         lib         source.properties
aidl        llvm-rs-cc

$ adb --help
-bash: adb: command not found

I have also added the ls output so that you know in which window I am.

adb is not in your PATH. This is where the shell looks for executables. You can check your current PATH with echo $PATH.

Bash will first try to look for a binary called adb in your Path, and not in the current directory. Therefore, if you are currently in the platform-tools directory, just call

./adb --help

The dot is your current directory, and this tells Bash to use adb from there.

Otherwise, you should add platform-tools to your PATH, by adding the path in your shell profile, depending on which file is used:

• Linux: typically ~/.bashrc
• OS X / macOS: typically ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile

Add the following line there and replace the path with the one where you installed platform-tools:

export PATH=/Users/espireinfolabs/Desktop/soft/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools:$PATH

Save the profile file, then, re-start the Terminal or run source ~/.bashrc (or whatever you just modified).

If you've installed the platform tools somewhere else, change the path accordingly. For Android Studio on OS X, for example, you'd use the following—note the double-quotes that prevent a possible space from breaking the path syntax:

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

In addition to slhck, this is what worked for me (mac).

To check where your sdk is located.

1. Open Android studio and go to:

File -> Project Structure -> Sdk location

2. Copy the path.

3. Create the hidden .bash_profile in your home.

4. (open it with vim, or open -e) with the following:

---

export PATH=/Users/<Your session name>/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:/Users/<Your session name>/Library/Android/sdk/tools:$PATH

---

5. Then simply use this in your terminal: . ~/.bash_profile

Quick Answer

Pasting this command in terminal solves the issue in most cases:

** For Current Terminal Session:

• (in macOS) export PATH="~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools":$PATH
• (in Windows) i will update asap

** Permanently:

• (in macOS) edit the ~/.bash_profile using vi ~/.bash_profile and add this line to it: export PATH="~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools":$PATH

However, if not, continue reading.

Detailed Answer

Android Debug Bridge, or adb for short, is usually located in Platform Tools and comes with Android SDK, You simply need to add its location to system path. So system knows about it, and can use it if necessary.

Find ADB's Location

Path to this folder varies by installation scenario, but common ones are:

---

• If you have installed Android Studio, path to ADB would be: (Most Common)
  • (in macOS) ~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
  • (in Windows) i will update asap

---

• If you have installed Android Studio somewhere else, determine its location by going to:

  • (in macOS) Android Studio > Preferences > Appearance And Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK and pay attention to the box that says: Android SDK Location
  • (in Windows) i will update asap

---

• However Android SDK could be Installed without Android studio, in this case your path might be different, and depends on your installation.

---

Add it to System Path

When you have determined ADB's location, add it to system, follow this syntax and type it in terminal:

• (in macOS)

  export PATH="your/path/to/adb/here":$PATH

  for example: export PATH="~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools":$PATH

I don't know how did you install the android SDK. But in Mac OS, what really worked for me is to reinstall it using brew. All problems solved in a row.

brew cask install android-sdk

Later on:

android update sdk --no-ui --filter 'platform-tools'

Like a charm

回答5:

For zsh users add alias adb='/Users/<yourUserName>/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb' to .zshrc

回答6:

For me, I ran into this issue after switching over from bash to zsh so I could get my console to look all awesome fantastic-ish with Hyper and the snazzy theme. I was trying to run my react-native application using react-native run-android and running into the op's issue. Adding the following into my ~.zshrc file solved the issue for me:

export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools

回答7:

1. Simply install adb with brew

   brew cask install android-platform-tools

2. Check if adb is installed

   adb devices

回答8:

If you are using zsh on an OS X, you have to edit the zshrc file.

Use vim or your favorite text editor to open zshrc file:

vim ~/.zshrc

Paste the path to adb in this file:

export PATH="/Users/{$USER}/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools":$PATH

回答9:

Or the alternative solution could be

1. Make sure you already install for android SDK. Usually it is located under /Users/your-user-name/Library/Android/sdk

2. If the SDK is there then run this command. ./platform-tools/adb install your-apk-location

3. From there you can generate the APK file That's the only sample to check if adb command is there

Start Eclipse via command prompt: like in case of mac -> cd /to_the_dir_where_eclipse and then open -a Eclipse.app with super user permissions.
