Google has made ADB and fastboot available as a standalone package, meaning users no longer need to download them with Android Studio or the Android SDK.

In our last look at ADB in our Android customization series, we go over how to install an app onto your Android device remotely from your connected PC and a locally saved .apk file.

You can get the platform tools for Windows, Linux, or Mac direct from Google's servers. You get a ZIP file containing the platform tools folder with ADB, fastboot, and a few other tools.
