### Using the terminal
Connect your smartwatch and computer to the same wifi network.

- To install ADB download it from:
https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools
- Open a terminal.
- After installation of ADB for windows set the path to the folder where ADB is located:
```setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\platform-tools"```
- For Mac instead of installing manually you can use homebrew:
`brew install android-platform-tools`

On the watch:
- Go to Settings → About watch → **Software Information**
- Tap Software version 7 times until you see Developer mode enabled.
- Go to Settings → Developer options. Enable **ADB debugging**
- Go to Settings → Developer options → Wireless debugging → **Pair new device**

You will see a wifi pariing code and ipaddress and port appearing:

- In the terminal:
`adb pair ipaddress:port`
E.g.
`adb pair 10.10.1.125:36443`
- You will be asked for the pairing code. Enter it.
- You will see a response:<br>
`Successfully paired to 10.10.1.125:36443 [guid=adb-RXXXW20LMKJY-eh5zBj]`<br>
- In the terminal type: <br>`adb devices`.<br> You should see something like:<br>
`List of devices attached`<br>
`10.10.1.125:45559 offline`<br>
`adb-RFAW20LMKJY-eh5zBj._adb-tls-connect._tcp device`<br>

- Now go to the folder on your computer where the Wear apk is and type<br>
`adb install wear-full.apk` <br>with wear.apk replaced by the name of your apk file.
- You will see:<br>
`Performing Streamed Install`<br> `Success`
