Setting ANDROID_HOME enviromental variable on Mac OS X

I am having MAC OS X(Sierra) 10.12.2.

I set ANDROID_HOME to work on React Native(for Android apps) by following the following steps.

Add the following 3 lines to ~/.bash_profile.

  export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk/
  export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
  export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Finally execute the below command (or RESTART the system to reflect the changes made).

source ~/.bash_profile

That's it.

Where the Android-SDK is installed depends on how you installed it.

If you downloaded the SDK through their website and then dragged/dropped the Application to your Applications folder, it's most likely here:

/Applications/ADT/sdk (as it is in your case).
If you installed the SDK using Homebrew (brew cask install android-sdk), then it's located here:

/usr/local/Caskroom/android-sdk/{YOUR_SDK_VERSION_NUMBER}
If the SDK was installed automatically as part of Android Studio then it's located here:

/Users/{YOUR_USER_NAME}/Library/Android/sdk

Once you know the location, open a terminal window and enter the following (changing out the path to the SDK to be however you installed it):

export ANDROID_HOME={YOUR_PATH}

Once you have this set, you need to add this to the PATH environment variable:

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Lastly apply these changes by re-sourcing .bash_profile:

source ~/.bash_profile

echo $ANDROID_HOME

Adding the following to my .bash_profile worked for me:

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

In Terminal:

nano ~/.bash_profile

Add lines:

export ANDROID_HOME=/YOUR_PATH_TO/android-sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH

Check it worked:

source ~/.bash_profile
echo $ANDROID_HOME
