I would like to run the following command in my Terminal of Android Studio.:

adb kill-server
adb start-server

I am getting the issue: 

Command not found.

I have already read that I have to add the path somehow. But I do not understand how it should be done...

I am running Android Studio 2.2 on Windows 10 Pro.

  • Add the path in your **Environment Variables**. The link you are referring is for Linux systems and not Windows. – Prerak Sola Jun 02 '16 at 08:46
  • I looked up the Android SDK path in Android Studio >> Settings >> Appearance & Behavior >> System Settings >> Android SDK and added it to the Windows variable Path. Restarted Andriod Studio but still getting the same issue. Is the path correct? C:\Users\jublikon\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk – jublikon Jun 02 '16 at 08:54

    You mentioned you have add SDK path into the Windows variable Path, but the adb command is under SDK\platform-tools, have you add this directory and restart ? – L. Swifter Jun 02 '16 at 08:57
  • An installer that does not define its environment variables is a perfunctory and lukewarm installer. This is clearly a bug in the installer of the Android Studio "complex" – carl Dec 05 '16 at 08:04

Create a system variable: enter image description here

Add it to Path: enter image description here

Adb is located under platform-tools: enter image description here

If you are using mac or linux, you can try like this

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/$(whoami)/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Now Check

adb status

If you don't want to modify your system environment and instead keep the changes local to Android Studio, do this:

  1. Goto Settings -> Tools -> Terminal

  2. Add ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk to "Environment variables". Separate multiple variables with semicolon (;) or use the GUI tool (Shift+Enter). Modify the path to point to your SDK installation as needed.

  3. Change "Shell path" to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k "set "PATH=%ANDROID_SDK_ROOT%\platform-tools;%PATH%" "

Notes:

  • ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is used for the installation directory of the SDK according to the documentation.

if you are still getting same error,simply go to your sdk location in terminal and type cd platform-tools .Then start doing what you want to do.adb works here. :)
