adb-install: Push an Android application to an emulator/device.

$ adb install ${filename-apk}

try on your machine

This command is used to install an Android application (APK file) on a device using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). The ${filename-apk} part is a variable placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual filename of the APK file you want to install.

When executed, this command tells ADB to install the specified APK file on the connected Android device. ADB is a command-line tool that allows communication between a computer and an Android device, enabling various debugging and development tasks.

To use this command, you need to have ADB installed on your computer and the device must be connected and recognized by ADB. Replace ${filename-apk} with the actual name of the APK file you want to install (including the file extension). For example, if your APK file is named "myapp.apk," the command would be:

adb install myapp.apk

Make sure to navigate to the directory where the APK file is located or provide the full path to the file if it's in a different location. Additionally, enabling USB debugging on the Android device is usually required for ADB to communicate with the device.
