The adb (Android debug bridge) and fastboot are two
utilities that are usually involved in rooting operations for the
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (as well as other Android devices, of course).
The adb utility used to be pretty easy to install because it came in the
base Android SDK installation. Google recently changed this to require
that the adb utility be installed in a separate, secondary step (i.e.,
the platform-tools installation).
The fastboot utility also used to be pre-packaged with the Android SDK, but it hasn't been included with it for quite some time.
You can follow this guide ADB Guide that will help you install the Android SDK for the purposes of acquiring the adb utility.
Additionally, there's middle section in that thread, labeled "Mini-SDK", that references a downloadable file, sdk-tools.zip,
that contains versions of the adb and fastboot tools for Microsoft
Windows, Mac, and Linux and how to extract these files a folder on your
PC.
