• 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 chown -R <your-user>: /opt/android-sdk
 chmod -R g-w /opt/android-sdk

• • Add the tools to your path

 export PATH="$PATH:/opt/android-sdk/tools:/opt/android-sdk/platform-tools"

• 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)
