Configuring AIR Tools for OS/X

For AIR development without an IDE you need to have tools for launching and packaging applications. In order to use these tools - the AIR Debu Launcher(ADL) and the AIR Development Tool(ADT) without typing the full path to where you installed the SDK your PATH environment variable needs to include that path. After setting it from Terminal several times I looked around and found that you can make it part of your profile by typing:

echo 'export PATH=/Users/yourname/pathToAIR_SDK/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile
