Tool to install ADB and Fastboot on Mac OS X and Linux.

Nexus Tools is an installer for the Android debug/development command-line tools ADB (Android Device Bridge) and Fastboot for Mac OS X and Linux. Chrome OS isn't officially supported, but it is possible to get it working.

The script does not need to be downloaded, simply copy and paste this command into the terminal and run it to install ADB/Fastboot:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/install.sh)

and this command to un-install ADB/Fastboot:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/uninstall.sh)

Note: If you install Nexus Tools and running 'adb' or 'fastboot' does nothing, run this command to add it to your path variable:

PATH=~/.nexustools:$PATH

These commands will download the selected script and run it. The script will download the files it needs during runtime, so it requires an internet connection. The script works on both Mac OS X and Linux (as long as the curl package is installed).

Nexus Tools requires sudo privileges to install/uninstall the adb and fastboot tools to /usr/local/bin, so they can be run without typing the full directory.
