I have CD'd into my android tools directory in the terminal. I tried typing 'android' and hitting enter and I also tried typing 'android sdk' and hitting enter but the sdk manager would not come up.

Any solutions or advice to help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

From outside the tools directory (obviously, you need to change to suit your path taste):

$ sudo /opt/android-sdk-macosx/tools/android

From within the tools directory (note the leading dot and slash):

$ cd /opt/android-sdk-macosx/tools/
$ sudo ./android

Related: you should have both ANDROID_SDK_ROOT and ANDROID_NDK_ROOT set in your environment. ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is used by the (now deprecated) ddms program. ANDROID_NDK_ROOT is used by various NDK tools. See Recommended NDK Directory? on the Android NDK user list.

    The android command is no longer available.For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio. For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager – Shijil Mar 21 '17 at 06:40
