For example, • on Mac or Linux, install in $HOME/ • on Windows, install in C:/ Make note of the full path to and directory name of this directory where the SDK files are unpacked on your system.  3.  If you are currently in the platform-tools directory, just call ./ adb -- help The dot is your current directory, and this tells Bash to use adb from there.

Now you have a small project set up that has a main.cpp file. You can edit main.cpp, but by default it will include a small sample "hello world" program. Let's go ahead and run that sample progra
