Install Adobe Air SDK on a Mac

1. Download sdk from here:

• http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html

2. extract the downloaded file to a location, and here is mine:

• /Users/chengyue/Documents/Software/Adobe/AirSDK/AdobeAIRSDK/

3. Add the "bin" folder under the AdobeAIRSDK to your mac's PATH.

• export PATH=$PATH:/Users/chengyue/Documents/Software/Adobe/AirSDK/AdobeAIRSDK/bin

Now, try the following command to see if it works.

• adt -version

If you followed the steps above, you should see the version displayed on your screen.

Not?go back and check!

4. if your don't want to execute the export command every time you restart your system, then create a .bash_profile under your home folder, mine is "/Users/chengyue/.bash_profile"

• cd
• vi .bash_profile
• write down the command, save it and quit.

5. (optional) Shift to your terminal, and start a new shell, try "echo $PATH", you should see

the AdobeAIRSDK/bin in the output.

Congrats!
