Answer 1

For those using macOS, this osxdaily.com article shows several ways to add adb to the $PATH.

Here's the one I prefer:

1. Add a file named adb to /etc/paths.d/ folder that just contains the path to adb's location: /Users/YourUserName/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/

   In a Terminal window, sudo vim /etc/paths.d/adb
   -> enter the path and save the file.

2. Close/re-open Terminal in order for it to see the change.

Answer 2

adb command can be under the new path below- C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools for new versions of Android studio. I found in this location for me.

Answer 3

Based on Vamsi Tallapudis earlier answer I came up with this dynamic path:

%LOCALAPPDATA%/Android\sdk\platform-tools

It's using a Windows Environment Variables. I find this solution to be both elegant and easy and would therefor like to share it.
