bash adb command not found via terminal for OUYA driver setup?


I'm trying to setup the OUYA driver on my Mac OS (Maverick) and I'm getting bash-3.2$ command not found when I type in the commands to root the pointer / install the driver. I'm following this video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5LSBiNfMq8A and have followed everything correctly but for some odd reason once I try to type in adb after bash-3.2$ comes up, not works. What am I doing wrong? I've looked all over the internet and on the OUYA forums and I can't seem to figure out what is wrong with my terminal commands.

Matthews-Mac-mini:~ mycomp$ vi ~/.bashrc
Matthews-Mac-mini:~ mycomp$ adb
-bash: adb: command not found
Matthews-Mac-mini:~ mycomp$ bash
bash-3.2$ adb kill-server
bash: adb: command not found
bash-3.2$ 

Thanks.


Solution

  • The adb tool is part of the Android SDK. If ANDROID_HOME is set to the directory where you put the Android SDK on your Mac, then you need to add $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools to PATH , like this in your ~/.bashrc:

    ANDROID_HOME=/users/myname/android  # or wherever you put the Android SDK
    PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH
