# Path to your oh-my-zsh installation.

# Set name of the theme to load.

# Uncomment the following line to use case-sensitive completion.
# CASE_SENSITIVE="true"

# Uncomment the following line to use hyphen-insensitive completion. Case
# sensitive completion must be off. _ and - will be interchangeable.

# Uncomment the following line to disable bi-weekly auto-update checks.

# Would you like to use another custom folder than $ZSH/custom?

# Set personal aliases, overriding those provided by oh-my-zsh libs,

Why does my $PATH show this?

zsh:no such file or directory:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

I use zsh and I have added this in .zshrc:

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/baby/ADT/android-sdk-macosx
export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

How should my environment variables be set in zsh to use Android SDK in OSX EL Capitan?

Solution

I have the following in my .zshrc file

export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/opt/android-sdk
path=("${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools" $path)

The value of ANDROID_HOME will depend on your personal setup. I used Homebrew - The missing package manager for OS X to install the android-sdk:

brew install android-sdk

Tell us what you mean by "why does my $PATH show this". $PATH is not even a command (or did you try to run it as a command? That would explain it, but it's still weird because the string shown in the error message doesn't seem to be your full path. Did you copy the full error message?)

[yingjun liu]

➜ ~ subl .zshrc ➜ ~ .$PATH zsh: no such file or directory: ./usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin ➜ ~

[yingjun liu]

i have use $PATH command,but it's like above.I want to know how to setting path when i use zsh in OSX EL Capitan

[4ae1e1]

Don't post your messy prompt. Also, .$PATH is not a command.

[yingjun liu]

echo $PATH show /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin, but this seems right. i 'm more care .zshrc settings for Android SDK,when i type android command is not work on terminal

[4ae1e1]

This is not right, it's the default PATH, unaffected by your zshrc.

[4ae1e1]

Better post your full .zshrc, and .zlogin also, if you have one.

[yingjun liu]

my full .zshrc as below answer, i'm confuse to .zsh to configure the environment

[yingjun liu]

ok , i fix the post, can you give the solution to my problem

[yingjun liu]

or give me some link to learn the .zsh environment configuration

[4ae1e1]

As I said, your PATH customization is overwritten by export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" later in the file. You should put your own customizations at the end of the file.

As for learning, first, man zsh. Then, Zsh official documentation: zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release. If you're not the type who read reference manuals cover to cover, you should probably read zsh.sourceforge.net/Intro/intro_toc.html, which is a lightweight tutorial kind of thing, as far as I can tell (I don't really know the quality because I just read the reference manual). Or you could read the myriad tutorials for bash (e.g., tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html), which mostly apply to zsh as well. And bash is simpler.

Oh, and there's this: zsh.sourceforge.net/Guide/zshguide.html, which seems more detailed than the intro.
