whats the best way to install adb?

hey i'm a body builder and i need to install adb on my install. i was thinking about this while getting in some reps at the gym earlier (leg day) and i realized that adb isn't gonna be available as a flatpak since its command line. this leads me to my question: is there an easy way for a huge dude like me to install adb? thank you. much love.πŸ’ͺ πŸ’ͺ

bros just to follow up i also had to create the distrobox with a few special arguments and i had to create a udev rule

i mostly followed the instructions here: https://dev.to/archerallstars/running-adb-in-a-rootless-podman-distrobox-container-2kap i did opt to create a new udev rule file instead of editing the existing 51-android.rules thanks again bros.

adb stands for Android Debug Bridge. It's a part of SDK Platform Tools, which is bundled with Android...

That rule should be pre-installed, but the rest of it is totally valid Glad you got it

Off topic, but I just recently flashed two Pixel 9s with GraoheneOS web-installer with Un-Googled-Chromium. 0 issues. So I assume that was the android rules working 😳.
