Setting Android Home on Mac

Android Home

Note for me to remember how to set Android Home on Mac 

Open Terminal and type in..
nano ~/.bash_profile
Add the below paths
The path should be where your android installation is located
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
Save file and type in terminal...
source ~/.bash_profile

Check to see if it is set: echo $ANDROID_HOME
Also, you could run into problems with JAVA_HOME not being set..
Find the location of java home and add to bash profile as above

note to others - "export export" should be just "export" :)

I was wondering about that deborah @ericaroy you should fix that

I see, the reason why mine does not work cause I follow this: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html
Which lacks a little bit documentation to setup ANDROID_HOME
And does not mention how to set JAVA_HOME

i dont have any Android folder in my library, any one can help ?

@dorman99 Are you sure youre looking into the Library folder in your Home folder? and not one on the HardDrive. You can click

Shift + Cmd + .

To see the hidden files in your Home folder and Library should be there

Thanks!!!

I am facing a weird issue.
I wrote the ANDROID_HOME variable in bash_profile.
Then I hit cmd ‘source ~/.bash_profile ’.
Now echoing my env variables works fine. Until I close the terminal.
It just got vanished if I close the terminal.
To recover, I need to run cmd ‘source ~/.bash_profile ’.

macOS Cataline

@Kunj-Choksi i am facing the same issue every time i have to use source ~/.bash_profile in order to use emulator command

if you are using OS X Catalina .base_profile will not work. Use .zprofile in the root instead.

Thanks, @erikaroy and @kingkarki !

This worked great, thank you.

I come here to set ANDROID_HOME but it does not work after update bash_profile.
I found arround, we may need add the config to ~/.zshrc as we did in ~/.bash_profile.
Hope it helps

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_TOOLS=/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/tools/
export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS=/Users/{your name}/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME:$ANDROID_TOOLS:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS
