What does the "note" mean. I unzipped the android sdk to my desktop on my mac. How should the command look?
Also when I type the adb commands in the later steps it says command not found. I'm totally lost.

First of all, let me say that I am not a Mac guy. Hopefully, my explanation below can translate to a Mac user.
When you install the SDK manager, it places folders and files on your PC/Mac. Whenever you want to run ADB commands, you have to open a command window. Your PC/Mac has to know where the "tools" folder is that contains the ADB executable file (adb.exe). Now I could simply type the command "cd C:\DownLoads\DROID stuff\Java\android-sdk-windows\tools" every time I use ADB, ... or I could "teach" my PC where the path is one time, and never have to point to that path or folder again. So now, I just open a command window and type "ADB" and my PC knows where to look.
Make sense?
Now, just as I told you
MY path to the tools folder (C:\DownLoads\DROID stuff\Java\android-sdk-windows\tools), you have to tell
YOUR PC/Mac the path to
YOUR tools folder.
It's pretty much old skool command-line statement stuff.
Hope this helps...
