Installing the Android SDK

These instructions refer to a Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS system running on an Intel processor.

• Head to the developer.android.com web site and download the latest version of the Android SDK for Linux (release 20.0.3 for example): http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r20.0.3-linux.tgz 
• Untar the downloaded file in your preferred directory:

  $ tar zxvf android-sdk_r20.0.3-linux.tgz

You should now have a directory called  android-sdk-linux containing release 20.0.3 of the Android SDK.
