ADB MAC


Add ADB PATH for MAC ( For those new to mac this is for you )


Assumptions : You installed android sdk and anroid studio.

Total control version:
in your terminal, navigate to home directory  i.e. /Users/username/
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

SO today's quest is fining the debugging tools ...
