In the Android 14 setup guide, it says to run 'adb devices' in a terminal, but when I type 'adb devices' in my terminal, it says not recognized.

Have you installed ADB? It comes with Android Studio, or you can install it separately

Are you using command prompt or PowerShell

#

Or none

runic kelp Mar 19, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

Oh yeah PowerShell you have to run adb like ./adb instead if adb.exe is in your current folder

trim carbon Mar 19, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

Yeah

#

Command Prompt.

#

Sorry, I've never used the USB debugging on Android before so I'm a bit new to it. I've used dev options a ton over the years but not USB debugging specifically.

#

Let me install ADB.

#

coral swan Let me install ADB.

You can download it from here: https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools

#

It's just a zip file, if you don't intend to use it again, just put the adb.exe file in your downloads folder and the adb command should work when you run Command Prompt and navigate to your downloads

#

I'm typing \Downloads\adb.exe but it's saying cannot find path.

#

oh, I just typed adb.exe but it says Access is denied.

#

What is your Command Prompt's current directory?

#

Should look something like this

runic kelp Mar 19, 2025, 5:22 AM

#

Oh yeah copy the dll files out of the zip file too

#

Sorry about that

coral swan Mar 19, 2025, 5:24 AM

#

Ah, got it

#

App is installed!

runic kelp Mar 19, 2025, 5:24 AM

#

Yay!
