Here is the minimum you need to download the latest versions of adb and fastboot:
Install the Java Runtime Environment, about 50MB download (you only need the JRE for this, not the JDK):
http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Install or extract the Android SDK Tools, about 150MB download:
Under "SDK Tools Only"
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
Run "SDK Manager" from inside the SDK Tools folder, click "Deselect All" at the bottom, then select "Android SDK Platform-tools", then click the "Install packages..." button at the bottom right side. Now go into your SDK Tools folder again, there should be a "platform-tools" subfolder with adb and fastboot inside. You usually only need 4 of the files in that folder, adb, fastboot, and the two dll's.
You've completely missed the point of Minimal ADB and Fastboot, this tool was designed to avoid the procedure you've just described and be much smaller then what you mentioned. Last time I checked a less then 1MB installer and 10 seconds of your time is much quicker. Usually I'm fine with a little off topic as I don't mind answering people's questions this however is counter to the spirit of this tool. Please refrain from posting this again, if a mod could kindly remove the last couple off topic posts relating to this but leave this post whenever they get a chance greatly appreciated.
Hi, any chance to get the option to install fastboot and adb systemwide?
Many thanks
This has been suggested before and will be added when I get a reprieve from school work during December and late November!
I was trying to use this tool to flash twrp recovery to my LG V10, but after fast booting to bootloader, when I enter the command to flash twrp (one I have downloaded) it just saus can't open twrp.
Can you give some more detail? Is your bootloader unlocked? Or can you flash twrp without it being unlocked?
This thread may help

If you copy and paste all input/output from terminal/cmd I can try and help further
I did successfully unlock the bootloader. Here is what I was trying to fastboot.

Can you copy and paste all input/output from terminal/cmd here?
This way I can see where it goes wrong, without this I can only guess
ScreenshotsADB and Fastboot are arguably two of the most indispensable tools used when working with Android devices. If you really want to modify, debug, and tweak along with their countless uses in rooting, and other procedures ADB and Fastboot are a must for any Android device owner. Typically if you want to install ADB and Fastboot you have to download and setup the Android SDK (If you really want to learn about Android Development I highly recommend downloading and installing the full Android SDK from here), but this can be unnecessary for people who just want to install ADB and Fastboot. To simply the process I created a windows installer that will install the latest version of ADB and Fastboot for you quickly and easily. The total installation of Minimal ADB and Fastboot is around 2 MB in size (Compared to the 90+ MB size of the Android SDK Tools, and 425+ MB size of the complete Android SDK) making it very lightweight.
How to Install
- Easily Install ADB and Fastboot with a simple to use installer
- Lightweight, total installation around 2 MB in size
ChangelogPrerequisites
- Your device is plugged into your computer
- You have USB Debugging enabled under Developer Options (Note: This may be listed as ADB Debugging on some ROM's)
- You have installed the necessary drivers and your computer is recognizing your device
- Download the Minimal ADB and Fastboot setup.exe from here
- Follow the Installers instructions and select where you would like to install Minimal ADB and Fastboot too (For simplicity I choose to install it to the Desktop)
- After you have chosen where to install Minimal ADB and Fastboot too select whether you would like to create a Start Menu Folder or not for the instalation
- Once you have chosen where to install it to and if you want to create a Start Menu Folder select the install option
- After the Installation Wizard has completed you can select to start Minimal ADB and Fastboot
- You can also start Minimal ADB and Fastboot by navigating to the Start Menu Folder you choose to create during installation or the desktop shortcut you choose to create and selecting Minimal ADB and Fastboot
- You should now see a command window open, with the command window open you can now issue ADB and Fastboot commands to your device
For more information on issuing commands to your device using ADB and Fastboot I would recommend taking a look at this guide on ADB and this guide on Fastboot.
