If you are setting up the ANDROID HOME environment on MacOS Catalina     bash profile is no longer apple s default shell and it won t persist your path variables  Use  zprofile instead and follow the environment setup instructions in react-native documentation or others   bash profile will keep creating new file which won t make the path permanent or persist on closing the terminal on your system path  Modified as it s providing answer to the frustration of setting up android home environment on MacOS

As a noob I was struggling a lot with setting up the variable I was creating copies of  bash profile files  the text in file was not saving etc     So I documented the the steps that worked for me  It is simple and foolproof  but little lengthy   way to do it    Step1  Go to Finder  Go on top    click on users  then your user account  you will see something like this     https   i stack imgur com 8e9qX png   Step2  Now hold down   8984           dot    this will now display hidden files and folders  It will look something like this    https   i stack imgur com apOoO png   PS  If the   8984         does not work  please look up the keyboard shortcut relevant for your Mac Operating system name  Step3   Scenario A  If  bash profile already exists   Step3 A 1  Double click the  bash profile  It should open up with TextEdit   or alternatively right click  open with  TextEdit   Step3 A 2   Paste the variable text in the  bash profile file using   8984    V  Step3 A 3  Save the  bash profile file using   8984    S  Scenario B  If  bash profile does NOT exist  This is kind silly way of doing it   but it worked perfectly for noob like me   Step3 B 1   Download free BBEdit text editor which is pretty light weight  Whats special about this editor is that it lets you save file that starts with       Step3 B 2   Create a new file   Step3 B 3   Save the file in your account folder   A warning will pop up   which looks something like this    https   i stack imgur com KLZmL png   Click Use    button  Then the blank  bash profile file will be saved  Step3 B 4   Paste the variable text in the  bash profile file using   8984    V  Step3 B 5  Save the  bash profile file using   8984    S  Step 4  Last and final step is to check if the above steps worked  Open the bash and type echo  ANDROID HOME  Your ANDROID HOME variable should be now set

If you try to run  quot adb devices quot  OR any other command and it says something like zsh  command not found adb  It tells that you are using zsh shell and   bash profile won t work as it should  You will have to execute bash profile everytime with source    bash profile command when you open terminal  and it isn t permanent  To fix this run nano    zshrc Terminal image and then paste following commands at the end of the file export ANDROID HOME  Users  YourName  Library Android sdk export PATH  ANDROID HOME platform-tools  PATH export PATH  ANDROID HOME tools  PATH export PATH  ANDROID HOME tools bin  PATH   NOTE  You can find Android Home url from Android Studio  gt  Preferences System Settings  gt  Android SDK  gt  Android SDK Location textbox  To save it  hit Ctrl   X  type Y to save and then enter to keep the file name as it is  Restart the terminal and try your commands again
