So here is my tutorial on How To Install ADB and Fastboot The Easy Way! I will also include how to add it to PATH on Windows so that you can use the ADB and Fastboot commands no matter what directory Command Prompt is in!

Firstly, you will need this zip file.

Then, extract it to C:/ (or wherever you want really, but I will refer to the location as C:/ in the tutorial).

Now you should have a directory called C:/Android/ with 4 files in it.



Next press Windows + R to open the run window. Paste "Systempropertiesadvanced.exe" (without the ") into it and press enter.

This window should appear:


Click "Environment Variables" and in the "System Variables" section scroll down until you see "Path". Then click Edit. Go to the very end of the Variable Value, making sure you do not delete anything and add ";C:\Android" (Without the ") to the end. It should now look like this:



You can then open Command Prompt and use any ADB or Fastboot commands from any directory.



Thanks for reading and please reply here or drop me a PM if you are having issues or have any Android related questions. This is also my 1000th post in the Android section!
