ADB and Fastboot are command line tools that allow you to communicate with Android devices like the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. The Android Debug Bridge, which is more commonly referred to as ADB, is used in most of the guides on this website to perform a variety of tasks on Fire TV devices. Fastboot is similar to ADB in that it is a command line tool, but it is primarily used to replace the entire operating system on an unlocked Android device. This guide will show you the simple process of setting up both ADB and fastboot on either a Mac running OS X or a Windows PC.

If you wish to proceed, that is of course okay as this installer arguably provides an easier way to get going with ADB for some people, but do know that it's currently very outdated.

I have the adb file chilling in my home folder on my mac and just connect it to my FTVs anytime I need to make changes. Is this different/better from just running adb through terminal like I have been from the start?

The only advantage of this method to what you’re doing is the instructions above will install ADB and Fastboot system wide. This means you can run ADB and Fastboot commands from any directory while in the Terminal app.

A Mac tip --
1. Open System Preferences 2. Open Keyboard Preferences 3. Click on the Shortcuts tab and select Services 4. Scroll down to Files and Folders and enable “New Terminal at Folder.” Quit System Preferences.
Assume that all your apk files are in your Downloads folder. To install an apk file via ADB, open your Home Directory and right click on Downloads. The Services menu will open and allow you to open a new Terminal at your Downloads folder. You no longer have to use any paths. Simply write “adb install xyz.apk”. Done

I have same using El Capitan
ReplyMacssays:January 3, 2016 at 4:11 am
I had this problem too. As of El Capitan the usr/bin folder is restricted so the install script will no longer work. To work around this you can disable “System Integrity Protection” then running the install script will work.
See instructions here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32590053/copying-file-under-root-got-failed-in-os-x-el-capitan-10-11
Remember to enable System Integrity Protection once you are done

Fastboot Adb Download Mac
Im having problems too, same as JR and Terry. I followed the guide to turn off Rootles system integrity check. Osx rebooted and I tested by running “csrutil status” in terminal and it said “System Integrity Protection status: disabled”
I still get “-bash: fastboot: command not found” tho… what to do?

I have installed ADP V 1.4.2 but getting the below error.

ME too. Install Batch is working fine. Files are being copied. Even ran as administrator to make sure. No errors on install. But going to just check version from cmd prompt gets the ‘adb’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
where does your installer put the files?

For Mac users experiencing the ‘command not found’ error, try prepending the command with ./
For example, ./adb devices
And here’s a time-saving tip: When typing anything at the command line, you can type the first character or couple of characters of, for example, an apk you want to install, then hit the tab key and bash will fill in the rest of the name for you.

I just tried installing v 1.4.3 on Win 10: when Installing ADB and FASTBOOT…. (System-wide) it shows 0 files copied instead of 4 files as per your images on this help page.
running as Administrator
Any ideas would really be appreciated!

For windows you need to add an environmental variable to adb.exe file.
ReplyClarencesays:March 15, 2019 at 12:58 pm
My comment after reading seems kinda jacked.

So, Under Environmental Variables, for PATH, you need to add the path to the abd.exe file.
