• Install Android
• Install Android SDK requirements

cd ~
mkdir android-sdk
cd android-sdk
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-3859397.zip
sudo apt-get install unzip
unzip sdk-tools-linux-3859397.zip

We add the path of our Android SDK tools to .bashrc so that we have access to the Android tools.

cd ~
nano .bashrc

# Add these lines to the top of the file
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/android-sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
