How To - Interact with Amazon Fire OS from your PC command line

You will need to first download the Android Platform tools

In my example, I place the tools here:

C:\bin\android\platform-tools

If you list the contents of the directory it should look like this:

The application you will need the most is the first item: adb.exe

Run the command in your command prompt:

adb shell

Once you run it, it will change your command prompt line will change to the adb shell and will look like this:

raspite:/ $

Show all users

pm list users
