INSTALLING ADB & FASTBOOT UTILITIES ON LINUX AND MAC:

Step By Step Guide

How to Install ADB and Fastboot on Linux

1. Download and extract the Android.zip to a directory.
2. Go to the downloaded directory and then enter into Android directory where all the scripts are kept.
3. Execute the following command on a console or Terminal with ROOT privilege on your Linux machine:

   # sh ADB-Install-Linux.sh

   Or enter the absoulute path to the script to execute:

   # sh /path/to/install/script/ADB-Install-Linux.sh

   NOTE: This command will move the ADB and Fastboot binaries to /usr/bin location and move the Android udev rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d/ location also this script will install JDK if it is not installed.

4. Exit from the command console and the open a new command console to use ADB and fastboot.

How to Install ADB & Fastboot on MAC

1. Download and extract the Android.zip to a directory.
2. Go to the downloaded directory and then enter into Android directory where all the scripts are kept.

   # sh ADB-Install-Mac.sh

   Or enter the absoulute path to the script to execute:

4. Exit from the command console and the open a new command console to use ADB and fastboot.

MAC supports drag-n-drop of the command script to execute the command and some Linux distros also support the same. So, to execute the script just drag the script from a file explorer window and then drop it on an Terminal Window.

ADB and Fastboot is now installed on your machine. If you have any concerns or doubt then login and leave a reply and you will be replied back instantly.

There is a “Show more details” in the error message. Click on the arrow and post the exact details of the error after which I can guide you what exactly to do.

Instead of moving the whole Linux directory to /usr/bin, just try to move the adb_Linux and fastboot_Linux files from the Linux directory and see if you still face this issue ??

Hi, I’m new here,and new to Linux. Previously rooted, TWRP’d and custom rim’s an HTC M9 with a Windows PC. Back to Linux, in particular Ubuntu 18.04, can we not just issue

Sudo apt install adb

And then

Sudo apt install fastboot

I tried this and although i have only vaguely tested it I can get the appropriate responses to
Adb devices
Adb reboot bootloader
Fastboot devices

Not tried any thing else yet

Trying to learn not be difficult!!

Hi @neil_curtis

When you install from an apt source, it is actually downloaded from a Ubuntu repository.
But ADB and fastboot are Android SDK platform tools which will change time to time with respect to that ubuntu repository.

[su_note note_color="#FBF4DD" text_color="#A38C68" radius="3" class="" id=""]You can issue the apt install command to install adb and fastboot on ubuntu.
But it won't guarantee the installation of latest ADB and fastboot binaries.[/su_note]

In most cases it would just work fine.
But there are many cases too where you may need to have the latest Android SDK platform tools, which is the latest ADB and fastboot tools.

I hope I have clarified what you were looking for.
