如何在 osx 的 pretinstall 或 postinstall 脚本的环境变量中检查 adb 的存在？

Question

i want to check if adb is already set on variable path before to do an export like export PATH=$PATH:~/.android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/ in the installation of the package.

i try with a condition like that

if ! command -v ADB &> /dev/null
then
    echo "ADB could not be found"> /tmp/my_postinstall.log
else
    echo "ADB is found"> /tmp/my_postinstall.log
fi

it's working in the terminal, but not the postinstall script (which is executable)

what i have forgotten?

thanks

The postinstall script does not run in any user context, and therefore doesn't inherit a given user's $PATH . Running source /Users/username/.bash_profile will update the $PATH your script sees to match that of the user's you want to check.
