Run the following command to set ANDROID_HOME in MacOS

echo export "ANDROID_HOME=/Users/<User Name>/Library/Android/sdk" >> ~/.bash_profile

Note: Replace <User Name> with the user name.

Once done, restart the terminal, if you now run the following command you should see the value for ANDROID_HOME

echo $ANDROID_HOME

Output: /Users/<User Name>/Library/Android/sdk
