adb: Check whether the adb server process is running and start it.
$ adb start-server
try on your machine
The command "adb start-server" is used to start the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) server. ADB is a command-line tool that allows communication between a computer and an Android device connected via USB.
When you execute the "adb start-server" command, it initiates the ADB server, which enables the computer to interact with connected Android devices. The server must be started before any ADB commands can be executed, such as installing applications, transferring files, or accessing device information.
If the ADB server is already running, running "adb start-server" will not have any effect as it is only necessary when the server is not already operational.
