To avoid rewriting the  PATH variables every time you start a terminal  edit your  bash profile  for Macs  it s just  profile  file under your home directory       and place the export statement somewhere in the file   Now every time you start terminal  your  PATH variable will be correctly updated  To update the terminal environment immediately after modifying the profile file  type in   source    profile

The reason is  you are in the wrong directory  means it doesn t contain adb executor      The solution is  step by step    1  Find where the adb was installed  Depend on what OS you are using   Mac  it could be in     Library Android sdk platform-tools   or  Window  it could be in    USERPROFILE  AppData Local Android sdk platform-tools     However  in case you could NOT remember this such long directory  you can quickly find it by the command  find   Try this in your terminal  command line   find    -name  platform-tools  2 gt   dev null   Note  I didn t test in Window yet  but it works with Mac for sure     Explain the find command    Please note there is a space before the     character --  only find in User directory not all the computer   2 gt   dev null  --  ignore find results denied by permission  Try the one without this code  you will understand what I mean    2  Go to where we installed adb  There are 3 ways mentioned by many people    Change the PATH global param  which I won t recommend  by   export PATH   Library Android sdk platform-tools  which is the directory you got from above  Note  this command won t print any result  if you want to make sure you changed PATH successfully  call  export   grep PATH  to see what the PATH is  Add more definition for the PATH global param  which I recommend  by   export PATH   Library Android sdk platform-tools  PATH  or  export PATH  PATH   Library Android sdk platform-tools  Go to the path we found above by  cd   Library Android sdk platform-tools    3  Use adb    If you change or update the PATH  simply call any adb functions  since you added the PATH as a global param   e g   adb devices    If you go to the PATH by cd command  call adb functions with pre-fix        e g      adb devices
