I've been looking through out the internet for a serious amount of time now for a working tutorial on how to enable the remote debugging feature which is built in to Chrome for Android, but I just can't get it to work.

Step three in this official guide says nothing to me. I've tried to paste adb forward tcp:9222 localabstract:chrome_devtools_remote into cmd, but it just says "adb is not an internal or external command". What am I doing wrong?

I do have the Android SDK installed, having installed the packages "Android SDK Tools", "Android SDK Platform-tools", "Google USB Driver" and "Google Web Driver".

Please, I need a step-by-step-from-the-very-basics tutorial on how to do this properly.

Thank you!

The answer that solved my problem was posted as a comment by Boris Smus on my initial post. I had missed to add the location of /platform-tools/ to my path in cmd. With that done all was working perfect! :) Sorry for not reading the instructions firmly. Thank you.
