Quick Start
1. Download ADB
Download from Android Developers, or install via package manager:
Other platforms, please refer to official documentation
Add ADB to Environment Variables
After downloading and extracting, you need to add the ADB directory to your system's PATH environment variable so that the adb command is available in the terminal.
Windows:
- Press
Win+R, typesysdm.cpland press Enter to open System Properties - Go to the "Advanced" tab and click "Environment Variables"
- Under "System variables", find the
Pathvariable, select it, and click "Edit" - Click "New" and enter the full path of the extracted ADB directory (e.g.,
C:\platform-tools) - Click "OK" to close all dialogs
- Reopen the terminal and run
adb --versionto verify the configuration
If you installed via , ADB is added to
PATHautomatically — no manual configuration is needed.
macOS / Linux:
If installed via a package manager, ADB is usually already in your PATH. If you extracted it manually, add the following line to your ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or ~/.profile:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/platform-toolsThen run source ~/.zshrc (or the corresponding config file) to apply the changes, and verify with adb --version.
2. Enable USB Debugging
Using OneUI 8 as an example:
- Go to Settings > About phone
- Tap Software information, find Build number and tap it 7 times to enable Developer Options
- Go back to Settings > Developer options, and enable USB debugging
3. USB connection
Use a stable data cable, and set the connection mode to USB on both the desktop app and the Android app.
4. Wi-Fi connection
Ensure your Android device and PC are on the same network, and set the connection mode to Wi-Fi on both the desktop app and the Android app.
Android
- Download and install the APK on your Android device.
- Ensure your device is on the same network as your PC (for Wi-Fi) or connected via USB.
Windows
- Run the desktop application.
- Configure the connection mode to match the Android app.
macOS
For the best experience, install the following dependencies via Homebrew:
brew install blackhole-2ch --cask
brew install switchaudio-osx --formulaeBlackHole is required (virtual audio driver). If you do not have Homebrew, go to https://existential.audio/blackhole/download/ to download the installer.
Please restart your Mac after installation.
