In Short

• Install Homebrew Brew (Ps. If you don't know what it is,spoiler ⏰ its great!)

• brew install node && brew install watchman

• brew cask install adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8

• Download Android Studio (https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html)

  • Android SDK
  • Android SDK Platform
  • Android Virtual Device

  This is the most important part and ensure you get it right

  Add the following lines to your $HOME/.bash_profile or $HOME/.bashrc (if you are using zsh then ~/.zprofile or ~/.zshrc) config file

  export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
  export PATH="${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/tools:${HOME}/Library/Android/sdk/pl$
  export ANDROID_SDK=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
  export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK/emulator:$ANDROID_SDK/tools:$PATH
  export PATH=$PATH:~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/
  

  This should work if you did not change the path to the SDK

  Restart your terminal and run adb if it returns a long list you are fine if not...
