I'm rooting the nookcolor and I'm stuck on a step. I'm a newbie and have little experience in using terminal. I was able to access the bash profile and append " export PATH=${PATH}:<your_sdk_dir>/platform-tools" at the end and then I saved it which seems to have worked because now when I type in "sudo nano ~/.bash_profile", I get this

PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/xxxxx/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_86/platform-tools

But the next instruction is to

Apply the environment variable.

source ~/.bash_profile

I don't know how to do this. Any help?
