Configuring Sublime to run in command line for Mac PC

On March 2017, I migrated to 2016 model Macbook Pro and now I am on my way to configure all the web development tools which was using before on Linux PC. Installation of most of the tools are pretty straight forward compared to Linux. On most of the occasions we don't even need to run any commands during installation process. By the way, my mac os version is Sierra (10.12)  I installed latest version of Sublime Text(version 3, build #3126). When I started to do actual development, I encountered this issue. From terminal I tried to run " subl . " . But I received an error saying command not found .   A one line terminal command could resolve this issue: ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl Here we are linking /usr/local/bin/subl with sublime executable command.

Setting Android Environment Variables in Ubuntu Linux

Recently I moved to Ubuntu OpenSource Platoform. While setting my development environment I had to set up environment variables there. I installed most of the packages such as phonegap jdk etc by either using apt or npm package managers. But In the case of android bundle, I just downloaded it from android site and extracted to a location. In order to set up environment variables, I did the following : 1. In terminal type the following command : gksudo gedit ~/.bashrc  2. Type your password. This will open the text editor.  3. In the file opened, type the following, # Android Path export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/tools export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools  4. Save. The path you enter should be the absolute path to android_sdk's tools and platform-tools folder This helps me to run android commands such as Adb, android etc.
