I feel dumb... How do i install adb-enhanced on bazzite?

apparently 'install' is not a recognised command, but i admit i'm just trying stuff here as the various instructions are more for the workstation builds and other distros.
Solution:
I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but Brew has adb. I use the adb that was installed in a distrobox with scrcpy using the ujust install-scrcpy command so I can't confirm it works as expected. brew install adb-enhanced Also could you elaborate on what you mean by install? What are you typing into the terminal? I might be able to clear up a question if you supply more info on what you mean....

Thanks. I'm not so used to immutable distros, and most of my limited linux experience is via Mint, so i'm used to using sudo apt-get install packagename, which i know won't work here, and i tried ostree install packagename, which is where i'm getting 'install' as a non-recognised command. I know using DNF is not supported on SB, so haven't even tried that.

adb-enhanced is not a fedora package afaik, so you unintentionally avoided a layer Oh wait it is Well that's weird

Yep! :PeepoBlanketThumbs: I think you mixed up rpm-ostree with ostree. ostree is a tool for managing the os images, not packages. You were likely trying to use rpm-ostree install which we don't recommend using unless it is a literal last resort. Layering packages with rpm-ostree will eventually break your updates, making unlayering to update inevitable. https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/ The docs supply a hierarchy on how apps should be installed. So keep it in mind, and you should be all good! You can try using dnf if you want, but all it does here is bring up the bazzite documentation in your browser. :GlorpClassic:
