Could anybody post a working solution for doing this in the terminal?

ANDROID_HOME is usually a directory like .android. Its where things like the Debug Key will be stored.

export ANDROID_HOME=~/.android

You can automate it for your login. Just add it to your .bash_profile (below is from my OS X 10.8.5 machine):

$ cat ~/.bash_profile
# MacPorts Installer addition on 2012-07-19 at 20:21:05
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

# Android
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/opt/android-ndk-r9
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/opt/android-sdk
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home`
export ANDROID_HOME=~/.android

export PATH="$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/":"$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools/":"$PATH"

According to David Turner on the NDK Mailing List, both ANDROID_NDK_ROOT and ANDROID_SDK_ROOT need to be set because other tools depend on those values (see Recommended NDK Directory?).

After modifying ~/.bash_profile, then perform the following (or logoff and back on):

source ~/.bash_profile

People  note that if you will use    bash profile then it will edit not your user s bash profile  but global  Instead go to your users directory   Users username  and edit it directly   vim  bash profile   And insert following two lines with respect to your Username and SDK directory  export PATH  PATH  Users  lt username gt  Library Android sdk tools export PATH  PATH  Users  lt username gt  Library Android sdk platform-tools

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   Type - echo  ANDROID HOME to check if the home is set    echo  ANDROID HOME

A lot of correct answers here  However  one item is missing and I wasn t able to run the emulator from the command line without it   export JAVA HOME    usr libexec java home  export PATH  PATH  JAVA HOME bin  export ANDROID HOME  HOME Library Android sdk export PATH  PATH  ANDROID HOME emulator         can t run emulator without it export PATH  PATH  ANDROID HOME tools export PATH  PATH  ANDROID HOME platform-tools   So it s a compilation of the answers above plus a solution for this problem   And if you use zsh  instead of bash  the file to edit is    zshrc
