Open the folder so that you can see the contents inside it.Open the folder where you extracted the platform-tools folder.The easiest way to do this is to first copy the path to the folder: This requires the path to the folder from the previous step to be set up as an environment variable. You can use 7-Zip or PeaZip instead if you'd rather not use these Terminal commands or they're not working for you.īefore you start using ADB, you want to make sure that it's easily accessible from the command line. If the unzip utility isn't installed, run this command:
MINIMAL ADB FASTBOOT EXE FULL
If that's not the case, you need to modify the platform-tools-latest-linux.zip path to include the full path to the ZIP file.
MINIMAL ADB FASTBOOT EXE ZIP FILE
The best way to do this is to open Terminal at the folder where the ZIP file resides. Unzip platform-tools-latest-linux.zip -d destination_folder Linux users can use the following Terminal command, replacing destination_folder with whatever folder you want the platform-tool folder to end up in.
Open the ZIP file to immediately have the contents extracted to the same folder you're in.The folder you chose in Step 1 should open and show the platform-tools folder that was extracted from the ZIP file you downloaded earlier.Select Extract to save the files there.
