Setup ADB and Fastboot with Android SDK on Mac OSX

After getting my Android handset I realised that there arent many guides to help you setup ADB and Android SDK on a Mac. This tutorial will help you setup ADB and Fastboot so you can start pushing applications and data via ADB or flashing radios and HBOOT's via Fastboot.

Download Android SDK for Mac OSX

Download and extract Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html to your desktop

Browse to Tools and double click "android". It will open up a terminal window and load the SDK.

Install available packages

Here go to "Available Packages" and select what you want to download. I selected everything. Wait for the packages to download and install.

Set the Path for tools and platform-tools

Next you need to update the PATH for tools/ and platform-tools/ folder. To do this you need to edit your ~/.bash_profile (create it if you don't already have one). Add the following two lines

export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/(username)/Desktop/android-sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/(username)/Desktop/android-sdk/platform-tools

Download Fastboot for Mac OSX

Now go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html scroll to the middle of the page and download Fastboot binary for OSX. Unzip it and place it in /tools/

Now your all set for ADB and Fastboot
