Quick ADB / Fastboot installer for OS X and Linux (minimal_adb_fastboot)

Last updated: 1.3.2016 | adb version: 1.0.32 Revision eac51f2bb6a8-android

Installs the adb and fastboot binaries for OS X and Linux.

If you need the aapt as well, please switch to branch aapt or download the zip here.

Do the following steps:

• Download the zip
• unzip it
• Start the shell script with ./install.sh
• Finished

There are a few arguments you can use with the script:

• uninstall : Deletes the adb and fastboot binaries from /usr/local/bin
  • uninstall-old: For OS X users who installed adb from this script with version <3.0. If you used my script version <3.0 on your mac, you should run this command once to remove the binaries from /usr/bin (they are now installed in /usr/local/bin).
• adb : Installs the adb binary only
• fastboot : Installs the fastboot binary only The arguments can be used like this: ./install.sh [argument] eg ./install.sh uninstall An empty argument does the full installation of both binaries.
