- Install Java/OpenJDK 1.6
- 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"
- Run android from the cli to start the sdk manager
- 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)
