I am new to Linux and am attempting to set up my machine for Android development. I installed the SDK, and I set up the path to the “platform-tools” in my path by altering ~/.bashrc and adding the following: 

export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/sdk/platform-tools

When I type: 

echo $PATH

into the command line, it spits back the directory to my sdk platform-tools.

Now, when I type: 

adb devices

The command line says “adb command not found”.

If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Looks like you got the first step down, now you just need to add the udev values for your particular device. See step 3 here. If you are using an emulator rather than a device adb should work fine without this step with what you have. You have mentioned what you have done but not what the problem is so I assume this is the issue you are having. What happens when you type adb into the terminal?
