adb command not found in linux environment

Question

While implementing the BluetoothChat application .apk inside G1 device, it always pops up a message:

$adb install -r /home/parveen/workspace/BluetoothChat/bin/BluetoothChat.apk  -bash: adb: command not found 

I am not getting clearly why this error is popping up every time. Please help me.

Thanks in advance. Praween

Updating the path as listed above in ~/.bashrc makes other bash commands stop working altogether.

the easiest way I found is to use what eaykin did but link it your /bin.

sudo ln -s /android/platform-tools/adb /bin/adb 

No restart is required just type following command :

adb devices 

To make sure it's working.
