According to the doctor it looks like it's not set. How do you think you have it set?

[webmagit]

[ ] ANDROID_HOME is set
[ ] adb also detected

The above diagnostic could be deceiving / dependant on your terminal. To be sure, open a new terminal and run the appium-doctor. That would uncover any issues.

As many have already said - just ensure your ~/.bash_profile has everything set:

And that should fix it.

thanks for that @webmagit. will close here unless further evidence of a bug arises.
