ADB (Android Debug Bridge) - because who needs a phone that can actually survive a drop?
Kidding aside, installing ADB is a breeze! Here's the lowdown:
**Windows:**
1. Download the latest version of ADB from the official site.
2. Extract the zip file to your desired location (e.g., `C:\ADB`).
3. Add the ADB bin directory to your system's PATH environment variable.
Boom, you're good to go!
**macOS:**
1. Brew, baby! Install Homebrew if you haven't already (`/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)").
2. Run `brew install android-platform-tools` (this will install ADB and other tools).
3. Make sure to add the `~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools` directory to your system's PATH environment variable.
Easy peasy!
**Linux:**
1. Use your package manager to install ADB:
* Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt-get install android-platform-tools`
* Fedora/CentOS/RHEL: `sudo dnf install android-platform-tools`
* Arch Linux: `sudo pacman -S android-platform-tools`
2. Add the `~/android-sdk/platform-tools` directory to your system's PATH environment variable.
That's it! You should now be able to use ADB to connect to your Android device or emulator.
