Hey guys im pretty good with adb, not many problems at all but ive recently ditched windows for a real os Ubuntu but im not super familiar with the commands and how to do this and that. Can someone hep me with setting up adb in Linux the guide posted is really rough for noobs to linux.
[Q] How to install adb on linux??? (ubuntu)
- Thread starter jamizzal
- Start date
well if you using linux then you will be using terminal to type out the adb commands. once you installed adb into linux you can type adb /? and it will give you the list of commands. In most cases you have to use sudo when running adb commands, at least using sudo when starting the adb server.
you have to follow the steps for linux, they are mostly meant for ubuntu afaik. Download the special linux SDK, Eclipse etc. One thing you should do to make adb work is add your sdk/tools directory to linux's $PATH.
It should go something like this...
$ echo $PATH (should return the directories associated with $PATH)
$ export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/sdk/tools (replace with path to your tools directory, you may need to add 'sudo' to the beginning of this cmd)
$ echo $PATH (you should now see your tools directory added to the end of the $PATH variable)
$ adb devices (now adb should do something, if nothing else at least error, no devices)
Is this what you were looking for? or some other issue..

Just to expand on that a little, when you adb start-server you will need to sudo, IIRC on ubuntu root is only enable to connect to USB.
Eg
Code:
sudo adb start-server
adb devices
adb logcat
Thank youu a lot! It's working with this but everytime I am rebooting Ubunutu 9.04 I have to type in these commands again to get adb...
what can I do?
you have to put this command in your .bashrc file
$ sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
then you need to enter your password
in the file you just need to add that command at the end :
PATH=$PATH:/SDK_PATH/tools/
export PATH
SDK_PATH.. you need to put your path .. something like ~/android-sdk-linux/
then you need to reboot to see if it works ;-)
enjoy !

This is how I did it on my machine:
1. Download this zip file
2. Extract the file and copy both files to /usr/bin/
3. In the terminal type lsusb and copy first 4 ID symbols for High Tech Computer Corp
4. In the terminal type sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and paste the following SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS(idVendor)=="0bb4",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666" where the bold symbols are taken from step #3.
5. Save and close everything. Unplug your device and plug it back again. ADB should now work as supposed.

Just in case anyone else runs across this, in Suse 11.3 I needed to replace the brackets around idVendor with curly braces.
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666"Even after that, I don't seem to get any devices in adb
Code:
# adb devices
List of devices attachedHere is /var/log/messages when plugging the device in

Thanks bud, this helped me out.. Recently installed Ubuntu back on my machine and could not remember for the life of me how to do this lol. So, thanks again.
Hi My name is abbas, I followed the procedure to set the path in ubuntu for adb, however after setting the path: when I typed
$adb
the response was:
$ error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: wrong ELF class: CLASS64
$adb
the response was:
$ error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: wrong ELF class: CLASS64
Can someone help me, i'm using both Windows and Linux Ubuntu 11.10 OS, and i did manage to get adb to work on Windows, but now i prefer Linux and i can't manage adb to work. Downloaded sdk, proprietary platform etc. . . Exported path, installed lsusb-1.0.8, edited rules and inserted rules for Sony Ericsson etc. But when i type $ sudo adb start-server (then i type my password) it says that command is unknown. " sudo: adb: command not found " so my question is what the f**k i'm doing wrong?
EDIT: Changed location of sdk folder, eclipse. . . And it worked, tnx anyway. . .
