| |
| <p><strong>1. Prepare your development computer</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>Read the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/requirements.html">System Requirements</a> |
| document and make sure that your development computer meets the hardware and |
| software requirements for the Android SDK. Install any additional software |
| needed before downloading the Android SDK. In particular, you may need to |
| install the <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp">JDK</a> |
| (version 5 or 6 required) and <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">Eclipse</a> |
| (version 3.4 or 3.5, needed only if you want develop using the ADT Plugin). |
| |
| <p><strong>2. Download and install the SDK starter package</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>Download a starter package from the table above onto your development computer. |
| If you're using Windows, we recommend that you download the installer (the {@code .exe} file), |
| which will launch a Wizard to guide you through the installation and check your computer for |
| required software. Otherwise, download the SDK starter package ({@code .zip} or {@code .tgz}) |
| appropriate for your system, unpack it to a safe location, then add the location to your PATH |
| environment variable. </p> |
| |
| <p><strong>3. Install the ADT Plugin for Eclipse</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>If you are developing in Eclipse, add a new remote update site with the URL |
| <code>https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/</code>. Install the Android |
| Development Tools (ADT) Plugin from that site, restart Eclipse, and set the "Android" |
| preferences in Eclipse to point to the Android SDK directory (installed in the previous step). For |
| detailed instructions to setup Eclipse, see <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/eclipse-adt.html">ADT Plugin |
| for Eclipse</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p><strong>4. Add Android platforms and other components to your SDK</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>Launch the <em>Android SDK and AVD Manager</em> by executing {@code SDK Manager.exe} (Windows) or |
| {@code android} (Mac/Linux) from the SDK's {@code tools/} directory (if you used the Windows |
| installer, this is launched for you when the Wizard is complete). Add some Android platforms |
| (such as Android 1.6 and Android 2.3) and other components (such as documentation) to your SDK. If |
| you aren't sure what to add, see <a |
| href="installing.html#which">Recommended Components</a></p> |
| |
| <p><strong>Done!</strong></p> |
