Import Vuforia Android Sample in OS X

Phew, it has been so long until I decided to write new tutorial. I have done some just-for-me app, but I just can't stop and write some tutorial about it. And today I grant my wish to write one simple tutorial.

So, AR(Augmented Reality) became very popular these days. And I wish to make one, hopefully with my very own mascot 3D model in near future. But as for now, I will just start the very basic steps.

How to know that you have installed a program on OS X

Since I used Puro,  my MacBook, I get tangled with some app that I don't know wether I have installed it or not. Well, lucky I find some way which is simple yet helpful.
First, check it in your Application folder or you may use "Command+space" then type your apps. If you had installed it, you might have found it.

Second, use terminal, type "which apps_name", it will shows path where you installed it.

bash-3.2# which wget
/usr/local/bin/wget
bash-3.2#

Actually there are another tools like "locate" and "mdfind". But, I can't use locate, there's some errors.

-bash: : command not found SOLVED!

Well, i just a novice at OS X and doing some installation of Android *it should be easy. I followed this tutorial, "how-to-install-the-android-sdk-onto-apples-os-x-lion" but i don't Unzip it and deposit it into your home directory (~/). Instead, i unzip it at /Volumes/Data/Android/android-sdk-macosx and unfortunately i change my environment variable on .bash_profile, which is the source of my bash error now.

-bash: sudo: command not found
Marias-MacBook-Pro:~ mariabina07$ ls
-bash: ls: command not found
Marias-MacBook-Pro:~ mariabina07$ 

I got that kind of error for a basic command, i scare myself to death!! Fortunately, i found this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8910783/sudo-wont-work-after-change-mistake-in-path-env. I followed it and finally i can run my android now.

Marias-MacBook-Pro:~ mariabina07$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
Marias-MacBook-Pro:~ mariabina07$ export "PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
Marias-MacBook-Pro:~ mariabina07$ sudo bash
Password:sudo: bash: command not found
Marias-MacBook-Pro:~ mariabina07$ android 

But, it got back to the first problem when i open a new terminal and still i can't be root sudo: bash: command not found. it does shock me to death!!! Finally i end up with fill nothing on .bash_profile, and "android" can't recognised again. 
But now i started from scratch followed this :  setting-android-and-path-environment-variables-on-mac-os-x, from here i know that the setting of environment path is on .profile. And this is a good explanation about environment variable os_x_change_path_environment_variable.
