I'm following the instructions for installing the Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html#Installing
So far just downloaded and then this instruction seems easy editing my .bashrc file to add this

From the android install instructions: export PATH=${PATH}:/tools

export PATH=$PATH:/home/dolbert/Desktop/android-sdk-linux/tools

Then I test to see if it took

I get this error
bash: export: `/home/dolbert/Desktop/android-sdk-linux/tools': not a valid identifier

Try this. The Path text should be in quotes

export PATH="$PATH:/home/dolbert/Desktop/android-sdk-linux/tools"
