Hi I am very new to appium and I thought I did everything correct to do this. Appium is giving me this error: error: Unable to start Emulator: PANIC: HOME is defined but could not find .ini file in $HOME/.android/avd (Note: avd is searched in the order of $ANDROID_AVD_HOME,$ANDROID_SDK_HOME/.android/avd and $HOME/.android/avd)
I followed these directions to setup: Download Android SDK https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Extract Android SDK to /usr/local/adt/ unzip -qo adt-bundle-*.zip -d /usr/local/adt
Set ANDROID_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment variables export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home) export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/adt/sdk
Add ANDROID_HOME and JAVA_HOME to sh profile (in order not to set them every time) echo "export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)" >> ~/.bash_profile echo "export ANDROID_HOME=/usr/local/adt/sdk" >> ~/.bash_profile
Install Android build and platform tools $ANDROID_HOME/tools/android update sdk --no-ui --obsolete --force
