can not open sdk manager with terminal Mac OS

I open my terminal to the tools directory of my sdk directory:

/Users/myusername/Library/Android/sdk/tools

and then I run below command to open the sdk manager:

./android

the result is:

-bash: ./android: Permission denied

I also tried: 

 sudo ./android

but get below result:

sudo: ./android: command not found

does some one know what is the problem?

This is the result of pwd:

/Users/myuser/Library/Android/sdk/tools

Have you tried "sudo chmod +x android" ? Chmod +x will make the binary executable chmod is a POSIX standard and you can find the man page online http://linux.die.net/man/1/chmod

./android: Permission denied

You need to give permission, if you want to run the command as any user, then 755 for -rwxr-xr-x.

sudo: ./android: command not found

You are in the wrong directory.

Just put the full path. 

ANDROID_HOME=/Users/myusername/Library/Android/sdk/
sudo chmod 755 $ANDROID_HOME/tools/android

When using the Android command-line tools, I often add a ANDROID_HOME system variable and edit the PATH. On a Mac, you can do this in .bashrc in your home directory:

export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/android/sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools:$PATH

Now this only makes it easier to do things at the command line. It doesn't solve the permission issues you are having. For that, you need to use chmod to ensure you have permission as the current user.
