How to get adb drivers get woring?

I’ve always just downloaded and extracted ADB from the SDK Platform Tools as a standalone thing like:

wget https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools 
unzip platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
cd unzip platform-tools
./adb devices

You might need to add a udev rule under /etc/udev/rules.d for the right access to the USB device.

This has always worked for my purposes but I don’t know if there is a better way.
