| <p>You should have already downloaded the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/index.html">Android SDK</a>. Now |
| you need to set up your development environment.</p> |
| |
| <p>The SDK you've downloaded is not the complete SDK environment. It includes only the core SDK tools, which you can |
| use to download the rest of the SDK packages (such as the latest system image).</p> |

| <h3>Getting started on Windows</h3> |
| <p>Your download package is an executable file that starts an installer. The installer checks your machine |
| for required tools, such as the proper Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and installs it if necessary. |
| The installer then saves the Android SDK Tools into a default location (or you can specify the location).</p> |
| |
| <p>Make a note of the name and location of the SDK directory on your system—you will need to |
| refer to the SDK directory later, when setting up the ADT plugin and when using |
| the SDK tools from the command line.</p> |
| |
| <p>Once the tools are installed, the installer offers to start the Android SDK Manager. Start it and |
| continue with the installation guide by clicking the |
| <strong>Next</strong> link on the right.</p> |

| <li>Here are the steps to install Java and Eclipse, prior to installing |
| the Android SDK and ADT Plugin. |
| <ol> |
| <li>If you are running a 64-bit distribution on your development |
| machine, you need to install the <code>ia32-libs</code> package using |
| <code>apt-get:</code>: |
| <pre>apt-get install ia32-libs</pre> |
| </li> |
| <li>Next, install Java: <pre>apt-get install sun-java6-jdk</pre></li> |
| <li>The Ubuntu package manager does not currently offer an Eclipse 3.3 |
| version for download, so we recommend that you download Eclipse from |
| eclipse.org (<a |
| href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">http://www.eclipse.org/ |
| downloads/</a>). A Java or RCP version of Eclipse is recommended.</li> |
| <li>Follow the steps given in previous sections to install the SDK |
| and the ADT plugin. </li> |
