The Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a command-line tool that can be used to install, uninstall, and debug applications. It also may be used to transfer files and access a device shell. It also is a necessary component for Sideloading Apps, Screen Mirroring, and Debloating Apps.

The stock Keitais do not come with Google Play Services, or the Play Store. Also, the phones do not come with any built in way to install apps.

Keitais bought from online sellers will sometimes preload the phones with Aurora Store or F-Droid. Otherwise, you will need to use ADB in order to install apps.

First you will need to enable USB Debugging on the phone. Go into Settings>About Phone, in here click Build Number 5 times (It will say “You are now a Developer!”). You will now have access to Developer options which will be in Settings>More Settings>Dev Options. In here find USB Debugging and enable it. Now you may make use of ADB.

Install WinGet (or an alternative but the command may differ). It may be installed from the Microsoft store within the App Installer package.

After installing, open a terminal (such as Powershell) and run this command to install ADB:

winget install --exact Google.PlatformTools

You will now be able to use ADB commands from your terminal.

First, download the Google USB Driver and install it.

Afterwards, download SDK Platform Tools. After unzipping the download you may run commands using ADB from the folder.

In order to do do, navigate to the folder and change the text in the address bar to “cmd”, after pressing Enter you will get a terminal in the folder. You can now run ADB and Fastboot commands from the terminal.

If you use Brew, simply install the android-platform-tools package. You will be able to use ADB from the terminal after installing.

Install Brew: Open the Terminal and paste this command:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Install ADB: Run in Terminal:

brew install android-platform-tools

You can now run ADB commands from the terminal.
