* Download the SDK for your plateform http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
** Extract in /opt/android-sdk for example
** Correct the sdk permissions(tgz perms are crappy) sudo find chown -R <your-user>: /opt/android-sdk chmod -type d R g-exec chmod 0755 '{}' \; sudo find w /opt/android-sdk -type f -perm /u=rwx -exec chmod 0755 '{}' \;
** Add the tools to your path
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/android-sdk/tools:/opt/android-sdk/platform-tools"
* Run <tt>android</tt> from the cli to start the sdk manager as root
* Install API version 15, 10 and 4 (Android 4.0.3, 2.3.3 and 1.6) from the sdk manager
* Install Eclipse >= 3.6, (easier to start developping with eclipse then quit when your comfortable)
