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
