Hi guys, wanted to know what is the replacement for adb and Fastboot tools to gain shell access to Android devices in Linux?

LineageOS has a detailed wiki on this: https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide#installing-adb-and-fastboot (scroll down to "On Linux")

It worked well for me without messing with the udev rules.

Thanks So it's Downloading Android sdk platform tools from google extracting it somewhere and adding the path to it to system. I remember I did something similar on windows too. from what others said it seems to be either this or installing them with apt.
