This error message suggests that your system is unable to locate the adb
executable file, which is a part of the Android SDK platform tools.
To fix this issue, you need to add the Android SDK platform tools directory to your system's PATH environment variable. Here are the steps to do this on Windows:
-
Open File Explorer and navigate to the directory where you installed the Android SDK. By default, this is usually located in
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
. -
Once you've located the SDK directory, navigate to the
platform-tools
directory within it. The full path should look likeC:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
. -
Copy the full path to the
platform-tools
directory. -
Right-click on the Start menu button and select "System".
-
Click on "Advanced system settings" on the left-hand side of the System window.
-
Click on the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom of the window.
-
Under "System variables", scroll down until you find the "Path" variable and click on "Edit".
-
Click on "New" and paste the full path to the
platform-tools
directory that you copied earlier. -
Click "OK" to close all the windows.
-
Restart your terminal or command prompt, and try running the
adb
command again.
Once you've added the Android SDK platform tools directory to your system's PATH, your system should be able to locate the adb
executable and you should be able to run the command to install your app on a device or emulator.
