The shell tells you that it can’t find the program adb. You have to go to the directory, where you installed the SDK.

I will change my post above because you have to do step 6 before you can execute adb devices.

I’m not sure I get what I’m doing wrong. I did drag& drop the folder from the upacked sdk tool I downloaded into the terminal and tried the adb devices thing afterwards:

X-Ys-MacBook:~ X$ /Users/X/Desktop/android-sdk-macosx ./adb
-bash: /Users/X/Desktop/android-sdk-macosx: is a directory
X-Ys-MacBook:~ X$ ./adb devices
-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory
X-Ys-MacBook:~ X$ ./

23

Type into your terminal:

cd /Users/X/Desktop/android-sdk-macosx

Then you are in the right directory and can use

 ./adb devices
24

X-Ys-MacBook:~ X$ /Users/X/Desktop/android-sdk-macosx
-bash: /Users/X/Desktop/android-sdk-macosx: is a directory
X-Ys-MacBook:~ X$ cd /Users/X/Desktop/android-sdk-macosx
X-Ys-MacBook:android-sdk-macosx X$ ./adb devices
-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory
X-Ys-MacBook:android-sdk-macosx X$

Thanks for patience guys…

Sorry, I don’t have a Mac, but this guide explains how to use adb: https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-setup-adb-on-os-x/

You have to go to the folder platform-tools. The program is in there. Unless you go to this folder, you won’t be able to execute adb. (error: No such file or directory.)
