Android Development Split

Install Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

For this project we will need the SDK command line tools. We can download and install from developer.android.com or via brew:

brew install android-platform-tools

Depending on where you have installed it, you may need to add the following to your .bash_profile: (ANDROID_HOME should refer to wherever you installed the SDK)

export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Open a new window and type:

adb version

If you see something like Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32 you have adb installed properly. If you don't, see this page on MDN for more help.
