Assuming you already have the Emulator running follow these steps:

• Locate your adb.exe file in your Android SDK folde.In Windows environment normally your adb.exe is inside [Android-SDK-folder]/platform-tools/. In my case, the adb.exe is in C:\android-juno\android-sdk\platform-tools.

• Put it inside your [Android-SDK-folder]/platform-tools/ as bellow figure:

  

• Now run the adb.exe through the command prompt.

• In the command line, go inside the platform-tools folder.Execute command:

  adb install Peribahasa.apk

  Later, the apps you just install will be in the emulator.
