Step 3. Unzip it and the contents of the “android-sdk-mac_x86” folder into your android folder.
Step 4. Now run the “Android” executable file form the folder. See the screenshot below:-
Step 5. Once it is done, check the folder called tools. Make sure both “Android SDK Tools” and “Android SDK Platform-tools” are selected. After this hit the Install Package button.
Step 6. When they finish downloading, go into the platform-tools folder inside your android folder, then copy adb and fastboot and paste them into the root of your android folder.
That’s it!. Now the Adb and fastboot drivers are installed on your mach and you can run the adb commands on your machine. Now go ahead and plug in your android device at this time. Make sure android debugging is enabled in settings. For more info check out the original thread on XDA here.
