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?
ReplyAFTVnewssays:June 1, 2015 at 4:28 pm
The only advantage of this method to what youâre 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 â
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 âNew Terminal at Folder.â Quit System Preferences.
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 âNew Terminal at Folder.â 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 âadb install xyz.apkâ. 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 âSystem Integrity Protectionâ 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

I have updated the guide to work with El Capitan and get around this issue.

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 âadbâ 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 âcommand not foundâ error, try prepending the command with ./
For example, ./adb devices
And hereâs 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 FASTBOOTâ¦. (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!
ReplyClarencesays:March 15, 2019 at 12:56 pm
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.
