I wasn't able to install these packages when I used

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

I get 

unable to locate package android-tools-adb

Can you help, please?

    The package should be located in the universe collections of Ubuntu. Check your `software & updates` to ensure that the 'community-maintained free and open-source software (universe)' collection is checked, and then perform `sudo apt-get update` and try to re-install. – Charles Green Jun 08 '17 at 19:11

Don't know why this hadn't been put as an answer, I just put it here from Charles Green excellent comment.

android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot are in the universe repository. You can enable it in Software Center or just hit this one-liner which will enable and install everything.

sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

I had to slightly tweak the suggested command from Suncatcher. The following worked for me:

sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt-get update && android-tools-fastboot

and then use:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

You can manually download and install it via a deb file from here.
