| page.title=Setting Up the ADT Bundle | |
| @jd:body | |
| <p>The ADT Bundle provides everything you need to start developing apps, including | |
| a version of the Eclipse IDE with built-in <b>ADT (Android Developer Tools)</b> to | |
| streamline your Android app development. | |
| If you haven't already, go download the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/index.html" | |
| >Android ADT Bundle</a>. (If you downloaded the SDK Tools only, for use with an | |
| existing IDE, you should instead read | |
| <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/installing/index.html">Setting Up an Existing IDE</a>.)</p> | |
| <h3>Install the SDK and Eclipse IDE</h3> | |
| <ol> | |
| <li>Unpack the ZIP file | |
| (named {@code adt-bundle-<os_platform>.zip}) and save it to an appropriate location, | |
| such as a "Development" directory in your home directory.</li> | |
| <li>Open the {@code adt-bundle-<os_platform>/eclipse/} directory and launch | |
| <strong>eclipse</strong>.</li> | |
| </ol> | |
| <p>That's it! The IDE is already loaded with the Android Developer Tools plugin and | |
| the SDK is ready to go. To start developing, read <a href="{@docRoot}training/basics/firstapp/index.html" | |
| >Building Your First App</a>.</p> | |
| <p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong> Do not move any of the files or directories | |
| from the {@code adt-bundle-<os_platform>} directory. If you move the {@code eclipse} | |
| or {@code sdk} directory, ADT will not be able to locate the SDK and you'll | |
| need to manually update the ADT preferences.</p> | |
| <h3>Additional information</h3> | |
| <p>As you continue developing apps, you may need to install additional versions | |
| of Android for the emulator and other packages such as the library for | |
| Google Play In-app Billing. To install more packages, use | |
| the <a href="{@docRoot}tools/help/sdk-manager.html">SDK Manager</a>.</p> | |
