I am using macOSX, and trying to extract all the files in a APK file, I've extracted it with zip and unzip. Used dex2jar to extract classes.dex to jar file and decompiled it.

Now when I am in my last step, using APKtool to decode the apk file, however, it shows "-bash: apktool: command not found " eventhough I put all 3 files(aapt, apktool and apktool.jar) into one folder.

How can I decompile with my apktool now?

If you are using relative paths to execute apktool, and you are cdd to the directory they are in, you have to prefix the command with ./

So if apktool is at /path/to/apktool

And you cd /path/to

Then type ./apktool

Instead of apktool

If you want to add this folder to your PATH, you can do that too...

Open ~/.bashrc in a text editor of choice and add this to the bottom of it:

PATH=$PATH:/path/to

Where, once again, /path/to is the folder that contains apktool.

Now you can just type apktool from anywhere.
