# Overview
The following will explain where all the software is located on a typical Titanium system and how to configure the associated environment variables for each Operating System.
# Configuration
# macOS Software Locations
The paths shown are the locations on our running systems. As these configurations are tried and tested with Titanium, try to keep yours as similar as possible to this.
| Package | Environment Variable | Local Path | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Android SDK Home | ANDROID_SDK | ~/Library/Android/sdk | Root location of the Android SDK as installed by Android Studio |
| Android Tools | PATH | ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools | Location of android (Android SDK Manager) and emulator executables |
| Android Platform Tools | PATH | ~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools | Location of adb (Android Debug Bridge) executable |
| git | N/A | /usr/bin | Location of git executable |
| npm | N/A | /usr/local/bin | Location of npm executable |
| Oracle JDK | N/A | /usr/bin | Location of Java executables, java and javac (automatically symlinked) |

⚠️ Warning
Paths to these tools and project files should not contain spaces or special characters, such as dollar signs, ampersands, etc. Some of the development tools do not support having spaces in the path, such as scons if you want to build the Titainum SDK from source.
