Playing .apk files in android emulator (Mac console)

Question

I've been searching a lot on how to play a .apk file in an android emulator. Solutions brought me to doing it with a windows console but unfortunately i'm using a mac. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks!

Did you already try this? That's how I have it setup. It works well if you are just trying to deploy from clicking on it and don't require the command prompt on the Mac.

UPDATE

To actually launch the Android emulator, run this command:

./emulator -avd DEVICE_NAME

If you are asking how to actually launch (aside from run emulator and isntall apk), check out this very similar post here: How do I launch the Android emulator from the command line?
