- I went to where my platform-tools were located (in /Users/myUserName/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools).
- When I put "adb shell", I still got "-bash: adb: command not found", so I did "export PATH=/Users/myUserName/Library/Android/sdk/tools/$PATH" and then hit Enter, followed by "export PATH=/Users/myUserName/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/$PATH" and then hit Enter again.
- Finally, I put "adb shell", but this time it worked!
