I put the downloaded APK files in the same dir as the adb tools to keep things very simple.
adb help Download the APK files you want to install
You can either add the location of the binaries to your PATH, or cd to them and run them directly like I did, e.g. Getting and using Android Debug Bridge (adb)ĭownload the stable binaries for Mac, linux or Windows from here: I don’t do this often and had forgotten how, so this may help me out next time. My notes on “sideloading” APK files to an Amazon Fire TV HD using ADB.
