  • In .bash_profile in Mac OS, or .bashrc in Ubuntu add a line like this:

      export ANDROID_PATH=~/Android
  export ANDROID_NDK_DIR=$ANDROID_PATH/Sdk/ndk-bundle
  export PATH=$ANDROID_NDK_DIR:$ANDROID_PATH/Sdk/tools:$ANDROID_PATH/Sdk/tools/bin:$ANDROID_PATH/Sdk/platform-tools:$PATH

  • Then (in Mac OS):

      $ source .bash_profile

  • Or (in Ubuntu):

      $ source .bashrc

  • Install needed packages (in Ubuntu):

      $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre-headless libstdc++6:i386 libgcc1:i386 zlib1g:i386 libncurses5:i386

  • Install Android Studio

  • Install ant:

    • Install brew package management from: http://brew.sh

    • Run the following:

      $ brew update

      $ brew install ant

##Emulator

  • Create emulator with name avd1:

      $ android create avd -n avd1 -t <targetID>

  • Run the emulator named avd1:

      $ emulator -avd avd1 &
  $ disown

    disown is used so you can close the terminal without terminating the emulator

  • For more details check: How do I launch the Android emulator from the command line?
