== My Computer ==
I have a Unbuntu 9.10 computer at home (yeah, linux, nerdy). Try to apply all the updates when they come out, and don't have any non-default packages (except chrome I guess) so it's a pretty basic setup.
== Main Android Website ==
Anybody getting started with Android should know and love this site: http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html. It has all the docs and example (at least a beginner) could ever want.
== Steps to Install ==
There is a nice page about installing the SDK here . but I'll record my steps:
1.) Went to this page, and downloaded the sdk for linux.
2.) Pick and create an install directory (for me it was /opt/apps/android_sdk/r4).
3.) Unpack the .tar.gz into that directory:
tar -xzv -C /opt/apps/android_sdk/r4 -f ~/Downloads/android-sdk_r04-linux_86.tgz
4.) Def. a personal preference here, but inside the install directory, the .tar.gz unpacks into a android-sdk-linux_86 directory. Pretty useless cause it doesn't have the version number in there anymore.. So I moved the contents up a level..
mv /opt/apps/android_sdk/r4/* /opt/apps/android_sdk/
5.) edit your .bashrc files (or equivalent if using a different shell) and add:
export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/apps/android_sdk/r4/android-sdk-linux_86
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH
6.) open a new terminal, or resource (eg. bash) and which android should show you: /opt/apps/android_sdk/r3/tools/android
Sweet!!
