Installing ADB on macOS [duplicate]

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.

  1. Install the homebrew package manager /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
  2. Install adb brew install android-platform-tools
  3. 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.

  1. Delete your old installation (optional) rm -rf ~/.android-sdk-macosx/
  2. Navigate to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html and click on the SDK Platform-Tools for Mac link.
  3. Go to your Downloads folder cd ~/Downloads/
  4. Unzip the tools you downloaded unzip platform-tools-latest*.zip
  5. Move them somewhere you won’t accidentally delete them mkdir ~/.android-sdk-macosx mv platform-tools/ ~/.android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools
  6. Add platform-tools to your path echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/' >> ~/.bash_profile
  7. Refresh your bash profile (or restart your terminal app) source ~/.bash_profile
  8. Start using adb adb devices

Option 3 – Manually (with SDK Manager)

  1. Delete your old installation (optional) rm -rf ~/.android-sdk-macosx/
  2. 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.
  3. Go to your Downloads folder cd ~/Downloads/
  4. Unzip the tools you downloaded unzip tools_r*-macosx.zip
  5. Move them somewhere you won’t accidentally delete them mkdir ~/.android-sdk-macosx mv tools/ ~/.android-sdk-macosx/tools
  6. Run the SDK Manager sh ~/.android-sdk-macosx/tools/android
  7. Uncheck everything but Android SDK Platform-tools (optional)
  1. Click Install Packages, accept licenses, click Install. Close the SDK Manager window.
  1. Add platform-tools to your path echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/' >> ~/.bash_profile
