Issue
I had issues finding a good solid tutorial on how to setup ADB for Mac.
How can I add ADB to macOS in such a way that it can be used in the terminal?
UPDATE
For those reading this post. Yes, as the edited response says. I was at the time looking for a tutorial with all steps as a beginner level guide.
Unlike Set up adb on Mac OS X, the intention of this question is to have a tutorial with all of the required installation steps to get ADB on macOS.
Solution
Note for zsh users: replace all references to ~/.bash_profile
with ~/.zshrc
.
Option 1 - Using Homebrew
This is the easiest way and will provide automatic updates.
Install the homebrew package manager
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Install adb
brew install android-platform-tools
Start using adb
adb devices
Option 2 - Manually (just the platform tools)
This is the easiest way to get a manual installation of ADB and Fastboot.
Delete your old installation (optional)
rm -rf ~/.android-sdk-macosx/
Navigate to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html and click on the
SDK Platform-Tools for Mac
link.Go to your Downloads folder
cd ~/Downloads/
Unzip the tools you downloaded
unzip platform-tools-latest*.zip
Move them somewhere you won't accidentally delete them
mkdir ~/.android-sdk-macosx mv platform-tools/ ~/.android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools
Add
platform-tools
to your pathecho 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/' >> ~/.bash_profile
Refresh your bash profile (or restart your terminal app)
source ~/.bash_profile
Start using adb
adb devices
Option 3 - Manually (with SDK Manager)
Delete your old installation (optional)
rm -rf ~/.android-sdk-macosx/
Download the Mac SDK Tools from the Android developer site under "Get just the command line tools". Make sure you save them to your Downloads folder.
Go to your Downloads folder
cd ~/Downloads/
Unzip the tools you downloaded
unzip tools_r*-macosx.zip
Move them somewhere you won't accidentally delete them
mkdir ~/.android-sdk-macosx mv tools/ ~/.android-sdk-macosx/tools
Run the SDK Manager
sh ~/.android-sdk-macosx/tools/android
Uncheck everything but
Android SDK Platform-tools
(optional)
- Click
Install Packages
, accept licenses, clickInstall
. Close the SDK Manager window.
Add
platform-tools
to your pathecho 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/' >> ~/.bash_profile
Refresh your bash profile (or restart your terminal app)
source ~/.bash_profile
Start using adb
adb devices
