<p>Here's an overview of the steps you must follow to set up the Android SDK:</p>
<h2 id="quickstart">Quick Start</h2>
<ol>
<li>Prepare your development computer and ensure it meets the system requirements.</li>
<li>Install the SDK starter package from the table above.</li>
<li>Install the ADT Plugin for Eclipse (if you'll be developing in Eclipse).</li>
<li>Add Android platforms and other components to your SDK.</li>
<li>Explore the contents of the Android SDK (optional).</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>1. Prepare your development computer</strong></p>
<p>Read the <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/requirements.html">System Requirements</a>
document and make sure that your development computer meets the hardware and
software requirements for the Android SDK. Install any additional software
needed before downloading the Android SDK. In particular, you may need to
install the <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp">JDK</a>
(version 5 or 6 required) and <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">Eclipse</a>
(version 3.4 or 3.5, needed only if you want develop using the ADT Plugin).
<p><strong>2. Download and install the SDK starter package</strong></p>
<p>Download a starter package from the table above onto your development computer.
If you're using Windows, we recommend that you download the installer (the {@code .exe} file),
which will launch a Wizard to guide you through the installation and check your computer for
required software. Otherwise, download the SDK starter package ({@code .zip} or {@code .tgz})
appropriate for your system, unpack it to a safe location, then add the location to your PATH
environment variable. </p>
<p><strong>3. Install the ADT Plugin for Eclipse</strong></p>
<p>If you are developing in Eclipse, add a new remote update site with the URL
<code>https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/</code>. Install the Android
Development Tools (ADT) Plugin from that site, restart Eclipse, and set the "Android"
preferences in Eclipse to point to the Android SDK directory (installed in the previous step). For
detailed instructions to setup Eclipse, see <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/eclipse-adt.html">ADT Plugin
for Eclipse</a>.</p>
<p><strong>4. Add Android platforms and other components to your SDK</strong></p>
<p>Launch the <em>Android SDK and AVD Manager</em> by executing {@code SDK Manager.exe} (Windows) or
{@code android} (Mac/Linux) from the SDK's {@code tools/} directory (if you used the Windows
installer, this is launched for you when the Wizard is complete). Add some Android platforms
(such as Android 1.6 and Android 2.3) and other components (such as documentation) to your SDK. If
you aren't sure what to add, see <a
href="installing.html#which">Recommended Components</a></p>
<p><strong>Done!</strong></p>
<p>To write your first Android application, see the <a
href="{@docRoot}resources/tutorials/hello-world.html">Hello World</a> tutorial. Also see <a
href="{@docRoot}sdk/installing.html#NextSteps">Next
Steps</a> for other suggestions about how to get started.</p>
