Opening Android SDK manager on mac

Trying to open the android SDK manager on mac, but when I get to the terminal window and go to direct to tools like it says, I don't know what to do.

These are the instructions per the site

Mac/Linux: Open a terminal and navigate to the tools/ directory in the location where the Android SDK was installed, then execute android sdk.

And it's in my downloads. What do I need to type into the terminal to find it?

As Android Studio 3, the android command is deprecated. So, developers should use Android SDK which has been provided in Android Studio.

Tools > Android > SDK Manager

or for command-line usage, - on MAC

~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin/

  • on Linux

    /Path/To/SDK/tools/bin/

then run sdkmanager.

For manual SDK, AVD, and project management, please use Android Studio.

Google deprecated the android command.There is a temporary solution that you need to replace it with old one [There are changes in latest android sdk].Using an older version tools is basically a bad idea .

Seems like Google wants workflow to be managed using Android Studio. Perhaps the better solution is to use Android Studio

The "android" command is now deprecated.
For manual SDK, AVD, and project management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager

The SDK manager, as you said, is located in the tools directory of the Android SDK in its installed location. So as per your given information it should be like this:

~/Downloads/Android/sdk/tools/

The filename of the SDK manager is an executable named "android", so cd into the directory and run ./android and you should be good to go.
