How to install ADB (Android Debug Bridge) on Lubuntu

If you are developing android apps using android studio, you probably don't need to install ADB separately because android studio will handle everything for you, including connecting to real device which is the purpose of ADB (Android Debug Bridge).

But if you still want to play around with ADB, then you need to install it on your lubuntu, the good thing is ADB is available on official repository of lubuntu/ubuntu. So if you want to install it you can just run apt-get install, like this:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

kernelpanic@kernelpanic:~$ sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
