I get 'Command Not Found' when I try to run Android Emulator on Mac OS X
The current directory is not normally included in your $PATH
on a *nix operating system like OS X; to execute a program in the current directory, precede it with the path to the current directory (.
):
$ ./emulator
Emulator can be added with Android Studio https://developer.android.com/studio/run/managing-avds.html
To start emulator: ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator -avd Nexus_5X_API_23
