[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Ok, how do I go about installing this?

First off, make sure you know how to decompress archives (namely zip or rar archives). Try 7-zip. Also, make sure you know the process of creating and renaming folders.

Download current version: 12.02.04

Mac OS X

This was tested on Mac OS X 10.7.2. Please report your success or any errors you have running this on other versions, but report them on the source thread, no use in reporting this here.

Unzip to "/Users/INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE/knives-and-forks/"

NOTE: REPLACE "INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE" WITH YOUR COMPUTER USERNAME.

FOR EXAMPLE, I WOULD UNZIP THE FILE TO: "/Users/DieHappy/knives-and-forks/"

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE DIRECTORY NAME IS SIMPLY "knives-and-forks".

DO NOT INCLUDE THE VERSION NUMBER IN THE FILE NAME FOR THE .ZIP FILE YOU DOWNLOADED.

Open Finder to "/Users/INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE/knives-and-forks/"

Double-Click "/Users/INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE/knives-and-forks/Knives-and-Forks-Mac.app"

You should see the Knives and Forks Main Menu in the Terminal window.

Linux

This was tested on Ubuntu 11.10 and Xubuntu 11.10. Please report your success or any errors you have running this on other versions or Linux distros.

Unzip to "/home/INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE/knives-and-forks/"

NOTE: REPLACE "INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE" WITH YOUR COMPUTER USERNAME.

FOR EXAMPLE, I WOULD UNZIP THE FILE TO: "/home/DieHappy/knives-and-forks/"

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE DIRECTORY NAME IS SIMPLY "knives-and-forks".

DO NOT INCLUDE THE VERSION NUMBER IN THE FILE NAME FOR THE .ZIP FILE YOU DOWNLOADED.

Open Terminal

Change the permissions to executable for "Knives-and-Forks-Linux.sh" by typing this into the Terminal window, then pressing [ENTER]:

chmod +x ~/knives-and-forks/Knives-and-Forks-Linux.sh

NOTE: "~" is a shortcut so you don't have to type "/home/INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE/"

Change to the "knives-and-forks" dir by typing the following in the Terminal window, then pressing [ENTER]:

cd ~/knives-and-forks

Run "Knives-and-Forks.sh" by typing the following in the Terminal window, then pressing [ENTER]:

[B]./[/B]Knives-and-Forks-Linux.sh

NOTE: DON'T FORGET TO TYPE "./" BEFORE THE FILE NAME.

THIS TELLS LINUX TO RUN THE SCRIPT IN THE CURRENT DIRECTORY.

TYPING JUST THE FOLLOWING WOULD RESULT IN AN ERROR:

Knives-and-Forks-Linux.sh

You should see the Knives and Forks Main Menu in a new Terminal window.

Windows

This was tested on Winows 7 Pro x64. Please report your success or any errors you have running this on other versions.

Unzip to your user profile directory

-- Vista, 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2: "c:\Users\INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE\knives-and-forks\"

-- 2000, XP, Server 2003: "c:\Documents & Settings\INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE\knives-and-forks\"

NOTE: REPLACE "INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE" WITH YOUR COMPUTER USERNAME.

FOR EXAMPLE, IN WINDOWS 7 I WOULD UNZIP THE FILE TO: "c:\Users\DieHappy\knives-and-forks\"

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE DIRECTORY NAME IS SIMPLY "knives-and-forks".

DO NOT INCLUDE THE VERSION NUMBER IN THE FILE NAME FOR THE .ZIP FILE YOU DOWNLOADED.

Run "c:\Users\INSERT-YOUR-USERNAME-HERE\knives-and-forks\Knives-and-Forks-Windows.cmd"

Python will automatically be downloaded and installed for you.

Once python is installed, you should see the Knives and Forks Main Menu in the command prompt window.

Ok, installed it, now what?

You should be able to open up your terminal application (or command prompt) and run some adb commands. In the future we will be automating adb commands for you, but for now you can try rebooting your device via adb by opening up a terminal (or command prompt) window, then typing the following, then pressing [ENTER]:

adb reboot

NOTE: AT THIS STAGE, YOU SHOULD ONLY NEED TO RUN THE KNIVES & FORKS SCRIPT ONCE TO INSTALL DRIVERS AND GET ADB WORKING. ONCE SETUP IS COMPLETE, YOU CAN RUN ADB COMMANDS AS SOON AS YOU OPEN UP YOUR TERMINAL/COMMAND PROMPT WINDOW.

If everything worked, your Android device should reboot. For further reading on what you can do with adb you can read THIS PAGE.
