Setting Up the AIR SDK and Command-Line Tools | 27

If you get an error that the file cannot be found, then check
the following things:

• Make sure that the bin and runtime directories are
  included in the directory


• Make sure that you included the path to
  directory correctly in the PATH environment variable.


• Make sure that you opened a new Console window
  before running the command.

There are a number of ways to add the path to the AIR SDK
to your system path, depending on which shell you are using,
and how you specify user environment variables.

The instructions below show how to modify your path envi-
ronment variable if you are using the bash shell.

1.Open the Terminal program (/Applications/Utilities/

Terminal)

2.Make sure you’re in your home directory by typingcd

and pressing enter.

3.We need to check to see if one of two files are present.

Run the following commandls –la

4.Look for a file named either.profile or.bashrc.

5.If you have neither the.profileor.bashrcfile, then create

the.profile file with the following command:

touch .profile

6.Open the.profile or.bashrc file with a text editor.

7.Look for a line that looks similar to this:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

8.Add the path to the<SDK_Path>/bindirectory to the

end of this line. For example, if<SDK_Path>/binis at

/airsdk/bin, the export path should look something

like this:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin;/airsdk/bin

making sure to separate the entries with a colon.
